The time is NOW or NEVER. Donate to Bernie.

[Lodestar]

If you're a Bernie supporter and haven't yet made a donation,
this would be the time to make your donation count. There
is so much in the balance.....I know you know it.

1. Paying for another family trip?

[NorthCarolina]

2. No, just

bringing Democracy back to the people. That ain't cheap!

[brooklynite]

3. Neither are those arenas, which mean so much for voter turnout.

[NurseJackie]

4. Donations made this month will be used to refund the ILLEGAL donations from previous months...

... apparently those ILLEGAL FOREIGN DONATIONS have already been spent, but the money needs to be refunded anyway and it's got to come from somewhere.

8. BINGO!!!!!

Ponzi Scheme

[Mnpaul]

36. Ponzi scheme? Are we talking about Clinton fundraisers now?

[Sheepshank]

45. Dip, dodge, dive, diversion.

try very very hard to misdirect from what I said. You have an issue on a different tack..start a thread.

[Mnpaul]

61. Yeah, I know

you don't want to talk about the corrupt Clintons. You want to be outraged about your nothing burger.

[Lodestar]

5. Worth every penny. Those "arenas" are a touchstone for group support.

Not to mention a visual testament to the sheer numbers of supporters
that would otherwise be unknown if this campaign had simply relied
on the MSM reporting. He is clearly the most popular candidate in this
campaign.

Supporters, keep up those 'work-arounds', bear witness to this revolution!

[NorthCarolina]

6. Well, what about renting coffee shops and small gymnasiums?

I don't suppose that's exactly "free" either.

[NurseJackie]

9. Hillary gets a bigger ROI. And the "coffee shop" venues are probably ...

... treated as an "in-kind" donation to the campaign. It's not cash, but it has an intrinsic value that Hillary's campaign must (probably) have to account for and document.

From the looks of things, it appears that Hillary's campaign is doing a MUCH BETTER JOB at keeping those types of records. Especially when it comes to things like this:

[brooklynite]

13. "Hello. Would you mind if the future President stops by uour restaurant"?

[NurseJackie]

41. Wouldn't that be thrilling?!! :-D

[timmymoff]

25. Hillary has more name recognition

considering she has been running since 2006. She can't put away a 74 year old socialist and can't get many of his democratic supporters to vote for her in November, count me in that group. This nonsense of Rockefeller republicans being democrats has ended my support. I wish you well.

[grasswire]

54. and bowling alleys! nt

[DrDan]

22. lobster sliders do not come cheap

[CentralCoaster]

30. Bernie was endorsed by the Pope, really berns you guys up, eh?

Come on, give us a

[synergie]

37. The pope says otherwise, and yes you guys seem to be really "berned up" about it.

The pope also has some advice for those who insist that the polite greeting when BS ambushed him in the hall was political.

[CentralCoaster]

39. ambush lol!

Come on, give us a

[Stuckinthebush]

62. Endorsed by the Pope!

That is the funniest post of the day! DUZY!

[Sheepshank]

7. You know he can't spend campaign contributions on anything other that the campaign?

the campaign is a bust so it's a waste there. And then elsewhere on this thread, there is a hint that it could be used for other purposes....errr, no it can't....so it's a waste there too.

to what end does is make sense for you to rally the campaign contributions?

[Eric J in MN]

10. If he doesn't get the nomination, doing well

...in the final primaries will still give him more respect in the Senate and more ability to advance his agenda there.

[Lodestar]

11. Yes indeed. You can bet an investment in Bernie is a dollar well spent.

[synergie]

38. Tad will certainly tell you so.

[COLGATE4]

12. At the pace he's going attacking Hillary he'll be lucky to be

the lowest ranking minority member of the Senate's Committee on Solid Waste Treatment & Disposal.

[Eric J in MN]

14. In 2008, Hillary Clinton said all that Obama

...had to run on was a speech he made in 2002.

Then she campaigned hard for Obama after the convention, and all was forgiven.

The same will happen with Sanders and Clinton.

[COLGATE4]

15. For his professional sake, I hope you're right. nt

[Demsrule86]

16. One problem

That was said during the heat of the primary...she sure never helped McCain like Bernie helps Trump and she got out when the math was against her...unlike Bernie who is behaving like a petulant child ...concerned only with himself...all the people he claims to care about would not do well under Trump...but Bernie seemingly doesn't care.

[Eric J in MN]

18. HRC stayed in through the final primary.

Sanders' criticism of HRC is also during primary season.

[leftynyc]

42. If he doesn't drop out after CA

what will you be saying then? Just curious.

[Eric J in MN]

50. If Sanders doesn't endorse HRC at the convention

...then I'll criticize that.

But I'm expecting him to endorse her at the convention. Maybe even before it.

[snowy owl]

57. That every voter has a right to cast his/her vote for the democratic candidate.

I think that's basic to what we cal "democracy" in this country. Clinton supporters are giving Clinton a bad name by constantly giving Bernie supporters opportunities to remind the country that Clinton did the same thing in 2008. Let's all have a double-standard malted together and click our tongues about sour-grapes and Clinton supporters.

[sadoldgirl]

19. You mean CA has voted already?

If you don't remember, let me remind you that she
fought tooth and nail against him until CA was done.

And don't even bother to bring up "math".

Bernie has never attacked her personally, nor has
he ever tried to help Trump. So your statements
are - to say it politely - totally unfounded.

[timmymoff]

26. But as a bernie supporter

I am not voting for her if she is nominated. I will vote for the down ticket dems that are liberal, she doesn't cut that mustard though, so she doesn't get it. Kind of sad but it took a long time to open my eyes and see how we are just as corrupt as the republicans.

[oasis]

33. Those not voting for Hillary in the GE are comfortable with having

a Supreme Court loaded with rabid right wing, GOP chosen justices. They'll be around for two decades stomping all over the U.S. Constitution with draconian rulings.

[leftynyc]

43. 2 decades?

Scalia was around for 3. The people who wont vote for whoever the D candidate is make me nauseous. They only care about themselves and their supposed "cause" which looks to me like petulant hissy fits.

[snowy owl]

58. You could prevent that by supporting Bernie...

[oasis]

59. I'll support the Democratic nominee, because I'm a Democrat. nt

[k8conant]

28. Yes, I look forward to her campaigning "her heart out" for Sanders nt

[Demsrule86]

17. Perfect for Bernie...

In fact a very very fine committee...that deals with solid waste.

[COLGATE4]

21. Sounds like it's right up his alley.

[Demsrule86]

20. Put me down for

Never.

[ContinentalOp]

23. I'll match your donation.

[Bleacher Creature]

32. I'll see your match.

And raise you with one "when pigs fly."

[slipslidingaway]

24. knr :) nt

[griffi94]

27. No thanks

Too much like poking money down a rat hole.

It's bottomless and has no hope of working.

[CoffeeCat]

29. Doing it now. Thanks for the reminder! (nt)

[anotherproletariat]

31. I agree...donate! I want all the Berners to be so mad at him when they realize that he was just

stringing them along to overpay his campaign staff (and allow him to live well while touring the country, acting like a celebrity), all the while knowing that he stood no chance at winning the nomination. That anger is going to be what buries him in the long run. (I don't even pretend the rabid ones will ever support the nominee, they are much to far into the cult for that, I'm just looking forward to watching Sanders become the target of all the hate he deserves for actively dividing the party when it is clearly not necessary.)

You can donate all you want, it's not going to give him the nomination. But by all means, prove me wrong.

[Jitter65]

34. Never! nt

[AzDar]

35. K & R

[LeftRant]

40. Get one of them Woman Cards from HRC. Might be a collector's item some day :p

[NurseJackie]

44. Ha! The wording of your title made me think of this SNL skit ...

(Rest in peace, Jan Hooks.)

[aikoaiko]

46. Will do.

[Waiting For Everyman]

47. Thanks for the reminder!

I donated Tuesday, but will be doing it again when Kentucky votes next week. Will keep doing it too. As you said, now is when it counts.

GO BERNIE!

Upthread seems very desperate to muddy the waters. Wonder why.

[taught_me_patience]

48. It's like tying to fix a 15 yo bmw

A hopeless money pit and a complete waste of time.

[Capt. Obvious]

49. Am I missing the word, "grifter" in any responses?

I think that's the term that was being trotted out starting a month ago.

[Trajan]

51. Two today

And it's not even lunchtime yet ...

[Ferd Berfel]

52. K&R

[merrily]

53. I donated today. Using the DU or JPR links to ActBlue would be good

[Yurovsky]

55. It's truly inspirational to see a campaign funded by PEOPLE not corporations...

whatever the end result, I'll know that my candidate didn't sell out to forces that are out to destroy working-class and poor Americans. I'd rather lose than sell out to Goldman Sachs. One you've sold your soul, there are no refunds or exchanges.

[coffeeAM]

56. Donated this Morning!

[riderinthestorm]

60. K&R! nt
