Joe Biden
Inasmuch as only a small fraction of his contributions are itemized, how do we really know? George II Nov 2019 #1
The article said this... House of Roberts Nov 2019 #2
Yes, but of the so-called "millions" of contributors, as of June 30 only 22,000 were itemized.... George II Nov 2019 #3
I believe more data comes from people who make contributions of 200 dollars or more ritapria Nov 2019 #4
You're correct. Contributions are itemized for those over $200 or in aggregate over $200... George II Nov 2019 #7
The OP is only speaking of itemized contributions. Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #10
I don't argue with that. But if you look at the details of the FEC filings.... George II Nov 2019 #13
The OP is not speaking about non-itemized campaign contributions. Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #16
Correct, so they're dismissing more than 70% of the contributions. You're okay with that? George II Nov 2019 #17
For the purpose of this study today, yea. It is what it is, even if it's not a complete picture. Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #18
So it's a grossly flawed study - it doesn't include almost three-quarters of the data. George II Nov 2019 #19
Then petition the FEC to require non-itemized contributions to require gender and more but Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #20
It's a window on a very small sampling of contributions.... George II Nov 2019 #22
You called it. TexasTowelie Nov 2019 #26
Thanks for posting... can't wait to hear all the reasons the naysayers will sposedly find fault. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #5
There are no "reasons" other than this is based on undocumented "facts". George II Nov 2019 #8
Precisely Uncle Joe Nov 2019 #27
Don't mind it though... it's an obvious sign of fear, which is understandable. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #28

My God, women with patios and a barbecue love Bernie. emmaverybo Nov 2019 #11
And we don't even know that they're women, this analysis is based on the first name of contributors! George II Nov 2019 #14
I should think suburban women today are more concerned with childcare than casseroles floppyboo Nov 2019 #24
and if he felt it was more expedient to publish his oatmeal cookie recipe by now, well ... floppyboo Nov 2019 #25
Didn't say we just sit on the patio , but it is something we have in common, our bit of midcentury emmaverybo Nov 2019 #33
