Thanks for all you do, Steve!

So don't worry about the amount. Bernie started out asking for just $5. Our current average per donation is $32.94. As Bernie has picked up speed our average has been climbing steadily.

Is it 1 million different people, or if I donate 5 times is it counted as 5 towards the million. I have donated several times, so if I donate again does it count toward a million?

I always differentiate between "I like Bernie Better" supporters and the "DU Hate-Democrats" brigade who have latched onto him as a vehicle for expressing their anger. (Apparently due to the fact that Democrats aren't doing more because Republicans won congress - but logic has never been their strong suit.)

However, Senator Sanders the candidate is not responsible for the behavior of his most counterproductive supporters, no matter how noxious and childish they are.

You may want to go back and read the ugly, lying, vitriolic posts about Clinton and her supporters that caused the responses
first defensiveness,
then response in kind,
and finally leaving.

I am amazed at the complete lack of self-awareness of Bernie supporters who started such ugliness and are then surprised at the response.

to ensure Berning Man will go on for years. 8 years, to be exact.

Clinton supporters went on full-throated attack the minute Bernie started thinking about throwing his hat in.

the bullshit against Sanders and his supporters started before he even announced. We were accused of being delusional; of living in a Fantasy Land astride our sparkly unicorns. Shortly thereafter, the head counts of Black people at Sanders' events begin in earnest, along with veiled accusations of soft racism.

The hatred coming from Hillary supporters has been well documented and posted here. What Sanders supporters post here is NOTHING compared to what you see on that shite site. Not even fuckin close. People want to talk shit, but can't handle the push back. Know the game.
