Running or not, he has my vote. He's the one hammering it home, he's the one who has been speaking truth while Hillary has been silent, playing coy and safe knowing all the while she was going to run for President

This is why I won't withhold my funding from Bernie, I'm not a 1%er but Autumn Apr 2015 #17

Whether you're a 1%er or not, you can't give more that $2700 for the Primary period. brooklynite Apr 2015 #22

Every little bit counts. Autumn Apr 2015 #27

So that is why the largest dollar contributor on those two lists is for $2700, right? salib Apr 2015 #46

For sure one thing this shows is Bernie can't raise enough money boston bean Apr 2015 #44

If Bernie were to win the primary, which is certainly possible without billions salib Apr 2015 #47

He would lose all his principled supporters of course. boston bean Apr 2015 #49

Why? salib Apr 2015 #58

Because he would then be "beholden" to the 1%. boston bean Apr 2015 #72

So, you are saying that he cannot raise money without being beholden to the 1%? salib Apr 2015 #100

You're argument would be with other Bernie supporters boston bean Apr 2015 #141

No doubt, this is telling. lark Apr 2015 #123

KNR. DirkGently Apr 2015 #125

And I suspect that a comparison with Senator Warren's donors would show the same thing. totodeinhere Apr 2015 #133
