A "ginormous upraised middle finger" to the Sanders campaign? [View all]

[Karmadillo]

I don't know if Lambert is correct or not, but $2,700 for a ticket to Hillary's fundraiser and $27,000 for a photo are interesting number selections given context and all that.

UPDATE “Hillary Clinton will hold a fundraiser with the entire House and Senate Democratic leadership next week, the first event of its kind for the presumptive Democratic nominee” [Politico]. Tickets cost $2,700, but $27,000 gets you named as a host, and a photo with Clinton.” Since Clinton is famously detail-oriented, $2,700 and $27,000 can only be regard as a ginormous upraised middle finger to the oft-quoted $27 average donation of the Sanders campaign, to the Sanders funding model, and to those $27 Sanders donors as well. Message: “I don’t care.”
