Bernie Sanders passes Obama fundraising mark

Bernie Sanders has gotten more individual donations than any other presidential candidate ever through the campaign's off-year — topping President Barack Obama's mark of 2,209,636 donations through Dec. 31, 2011 — his team announced following Saturday night's Democratic debate.

Sanders passed Obama's re-election total during the debate, his communications director Michael Briggs said.

The news comes just one day after the campaign raised over $1 million amid a major blowup over its role in accessing Hillary Clinton's campaign data, and just two days after the campaign said it brought in $3 million at the beginning of the week. While it has trailed Clinton's effort in fundraising overall, it has shown major muscle in the online and small-dollar fundraising department.
Sanders' average donation during the debate was under $25, said Briggs.

3. Well done! Go Bernie!

[TIME TO PANIC]

4. Donations translate to votes.

This is the main reason for the establishments desperate actions recently.

[greiner3]

14. "Donations translate to votes."

Yes it does and that's why Citizens United needs to go.

[TIME TO PANIC]

16. Agreed!

[840high]

28. ...+1

[brooklynite]

5. Of course the SIZE of Obama's donations was frequently larger

He didn't object to fundraising people who could write a $2500 check.

[Agschmid]

7. No and neither does Bernie...

Though you wouldn't know it from DU.

[Marty McGraw]

[Cassiopeia]

50. It's not the size of the check,

it's who writes it.

He won't take money from the US destroying vultures other candidates will.

[Agschmid]

53. This just isn't factual.

Ask the NRA.

[tazkcmo]

13. Just gotta pee on it.

Anything positive. Anything Sanders. Anything progressive. Pee. Pee. Pee. And then you'll ask for our support for your candidate in the GE while ours doesn't need yours to win the GE. Smart.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. +1000000.

[Amimnoch]

23. Find me a pro hillary thread where Sanders devoted don't come in and piss on it.

I wonder just how quick you are to complain about anything positive being pissed on in those threads?

25. The Heat

Generated from this Winter's debate.




Can be a cozy thing to watch

[Fawke Em]

52. Awww.... now you've made me want another hamster.

They're just the cutest things.

I've put off getting my kids one since the gerbils died a few years back because I'm afraid the cat will get to them (didn't have the cat then).

Hmmm.... Christmas.

[Proserpina]

32. We can't. We are all blocked. Sorry!

That's the down side of fascism.

[Nitram]

49. Yeah, but Amimnoch, Hillary is evil and Bernie is good.

The Bernanas are just "telling it like it is." In their minds, at least.

[Cassiopeia]

54. The only pro Hillary posts we see are polls.

Things really don't get posted on policy. It's a risk to even try, she'll likely say the opposite by the end of the day and be somewhere else in the middle by the next morning.

[Amimnoch]

55. Well here you go darling. I wouldn't want to see you go on lacking.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=832529

Over a month old, and still completely accurate!

[Agschmid]

34. Every candidate needs support.

To say you don't "need our support" is foolish, and most of us wouldn't withold support either.

Geez.

[artislife]

17. And still each donor only gets one vote...or at least that is what we are told.

I was giggling this morning because of the lack of OPs that said Bernie couldn't win without PAC money....blah blah...those were pretty popular a couple months ago.

Let me put it to you in a way that may make it clearer : The people are speaking, with their consumer dollars.

[Proserpina]

33. I saw those...all posted by the Hillary people, as I recall.

[Plucketeer]

18. Exactly!

And we got actions from him that are commensurate with larger donations. Health Insurance companies instead of Single Payer. The TPP instead of comfortable picket line shoes. NO prosecution of Wall St. criminals. I think I'd rather crow about twenty-five dollar donations, than 2500 dollar favor buying.

9. Thank You For Sharing This Wonderful News

eom

[Jack Rabbit]

10. And thankk you, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, for making all this possible

Even we Sandernistas have some use for an inept, high handed neolib in the DNC Chair.

[Jackilope]

11. People have a hunger for real change

It is very transparent through DNC /HRC that they do not want change.

They can blunder and bluster, they can control corporate media, but there are more people than the 1% and the 1% enablers. No alerts, no hides, no tombstoning can change that.

Shine on and keep Bernin' bright!

[WillyT]

12. HUGE K & R !!!

Thank you for the thread, Uncle Joe !!!

[Uncle Joe]

26. It was my pleasure, WillyT!

29. It's likely that much of that cash will go to the DNC to support Hillary once he concedes.

Don't bother to 'correct me.' This is what has happened in the past.

[Uncle Joe]

30. If that's the case then the DNC was extra foolhardy in trying to cripple Bernie's campaign,

unless they thought otherwise than what you believe.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

31. And when Bernie wins the primary, Hillary's supporters will donate to his campaign!

Open the floodgates! The money will start pouring in after the primary thanks to Hillary's supporters. Can't wait to see them put their money where their mouths are.

[Proserpina]

35. Hillary will end up in debt, again

and be telling us that she has to go out and give all those $250k speeches to pay off the bills and the lawyers....already seen this part of the show!

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

39. At least Bernie is fueled by $30 donations. Her supporters here and across the country...

will have no problem chipping in. After all, thank god they aren't petty like Bernie's supporters.

[Proserpina]

40. The 1% can be very vengeful when their little plans go awry and their investments fail

Look what they did to Madoff, and Shkreli!

And they can cut off the non-producer without a nickel. There will be no complaining allowed, either.

Very Faustian.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

41. But every week there's a massive thread vehemently chiding Bernie's supporters for...

dumping Hillary. Surely they're not hypocrites.

[Proserpina]

42. Oh, I would NEVER say such a thing--on this site!

Is it the thread posters, or the Bernie supporters, you are trying out for the hypocrite term?

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

43. I'm daring to suggest that Hillary's supporters...

despite their preemptively shitting on Bernie's supporters for dumping her even before the primary...I'm just wondering if her supporters making this argument because it's what they guard against most. That's kind of how preemptive attacks work: you accuse someone who reminds you of something you don't like about yourself.

[Proserpina]

46. I think I see what you are driving at

and I think that I'm getting out of DU. It's out in the open, now, what the sick little game around here is, and I cannot justify any effort that continues the farce. My friends, the people who earned my respect and affection, are moving on, and I think that this collapse through corruption of the product has been coming on for a long time.

Whether I can find a congenial and supportive network is debatable, but I'm not willing to take abuse, even for free.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

47. Understood. I've been here 10 years but only have a few

...thousand posts. I can't take it, either but always come back because there are some really brilliant, more informed folks here, and fortunately, they're above the dung flinging. I've never understood why people allow themselves to burn out in favor of taking multiple breaks. I hope you find what you're looking for.

[Proserpina]

36. Uncle Joe, when you start a thread, you make a BIG impression!

My mother Demeter (and I) wish you " a Merry Christmas, and a Bernie New Year!" Keep on posting!

[Uncle Joe]

37. Thank you, Proserpina.

Peace to you and Demeter, Merry Christmas and a Bernie New Year to y'all!

[sabrina 1]

38. They just can't stop the momentum, no matter how many dirty tricks or Corporate Media support

they have.

Great to see Bernie PROFITING every time they try to derail his campaign.

[rhett o rick]

44. Good post. They will get rougher as time goes. I am concerned for his safety. nm

[Amimnoch]

45. That's right, the momentum is unstoppable!

Just look at it!

Many of the comments suck! But, we know all about the sock puppet army.

[Fawke Em]

51. Yup.

Have to do some clicking to donate online.

And that's some REAL numbers.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

56. Money is muscle now?

[Uncle Joe]

57. If you want to advertise via the corporate media it is.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

58. It's like Wall Street judging the economy.
