Those high-bucks Democratic Primary fundraisers...sheesh!
Oh, wait. People who have higher incomes than I do are supporting Democratic candidates and contributing to Democratic Party efforts to elect other democratic candidates? Now that I understand that, I guess I'm not pissed off about that at all.
See, I want Democratic candidates to win in every office they seek. I have limited ability to donate money, so I donate my time instead. I guess I feel just fine about people who can donate larger amounts if they're supporting the same things I am.
I like Democrats who support Democrats in campaigns. Period. Are some of them wealthy? Cool. They can donate more money. Am I jealous that they can go to some event that I can't attend? No, not really. In fact, I have volunteered at such events in the past so I could attend. I parked cars, carried trays of hors d'oeuvre and made myself useful at them. I've even played in a woodwind quintet providing music for many such events.
Hoorah! for people who can provide financial support to candidates I also support. Really. Good for them. Political campaigns are really expensive these days. I appreciate their support for Democrats running for office.
