Play that one out, though. Down-ballot candidates are likely to support the national candidate who funneled cash to them, that candidate might be, I dunno, somewhat indebted to the people who handed over the money to support those down-ballot candidates.

She will get conservative, right-wing things done. She will do a far- better job of this than ANY Republican ever could because people like you will support her pro-corporation, pro-wealth and anti-poor persons agenda because the optics are better when this evil stuff is pushed by a Democratic woman. She will probably…

Ah, I follow. I did intend to draw a parallel to Trump (both have populist appeal for being anti-eatablishment) but the only riot I expect the DNC to face is dems writing in for Bernie or other nonRepublican candidates. The Green Party might get my vote in Sanders doesnt get the nomination but Im definitely not voting…

1. The data access drama (I remember hearing something about the staffer responsible for the breach was a plant from thr DNC - this is the far-fetched entry on this list).

No. Google just about any article on the ‘Hilary Victory Fund’ that’s not a fluff piece and the article will discuss the ties between the funding and the super-delegates.

Hes got the people's support because he bashes the establishment. If the establishment isnt careful, it might have a riot on its hands

Yeah, that all sounds like hard and fast bullshit. I guarantee you’re not in any worse position than the hordes of angry and hungry Trump supporters but you still think you’re the exception.

You don’t understand, clearly, if Hillary loses then abortion becomes illegal everywhere and all PoC will be herded into extermination camps right after all women are fired from their jobs.

Why should he do leg-work for the party that has repeatedly screwed him over throughout the primaries when he is already fighting an uphill battle to give people a real choice at the ballot?

I would venture to guess if it was Mitt Romney taking George Clooneys money you would be singing a different tune.

It’s bad to raise money for down ballot candidates? That is the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.

What don’t you understand about this? They ARE part of the process. A horrible part of the process, but a part of the process nonetheless. And as a part of the process, they are something he needs to contend with.

No, I’m sorry, but this fundraiser is fucking egregious. Like, it used to be the case that politicians would go out of their way to avoid bringing up fundraisers where plates cost a couple thousand dollars. We long accepted this kind of shit as, like, the cost of doing business, but certainly not a tasteful activity…

A record 32 state parties signed on to the fund, allowing the committee to solicit donations 130 times greater than what a supporter can give to Clinton’s campaign for the primary.

No and no. Please do some reading. Bernie is helping progressive candidates all over the country. These fundraisers are NOT for down ballot races. The money primarily goes to Hillary.

Don’t believe me? Consider what has happened to the Democratic Party since the Clintons came to power. We have lost ground at every…

He’s not going to change the world at all because you and everyone like you want the status quo. You’ll bitch and whine on here all day about progressive issues, but then when someone comes along who agrees with you and wants to change things, you go “that’s stupid and unrealistic”.

My, you seem like a really pleasant person. You probably yell at random people as you walk down the street in your tinfoil hat while wearing your Hillary swag, don’t you?

That money is going to Clinton. It’s to get around campaign finance law restrictions.

high priced fundraising dinners in general are bad. that’s the point. the american campaign system is disgusting.

My guy, you are not wrong.
