NO, it doesn’t. It is for the down-ticket races primarily. It’s part of a fund to help other candidates called the Hillary Victory Fund. She gets a very small portion, but the rest goes to down ticket candidates. This is not hard to find out about.

Straight from the website: “The first $2,700/$5,000 from an

Sanders really is showing to be a huge fucking asshole isn’t he? Typical white guy is what I say. Stomping his feet when he doesn’t get his way.

Dude, I’m fucking done with Sanders. I gave him a ton of money and I wish I could ask for it back. This fundraiser was done specifically to raise money for downballot candidates—the kind of congresspeople Sanders would actually need to fuel his imaginary revolution.

Have to say that I’m really, really disappointed in the Sanders campaign for its lack of self-awareness while filling the senior positions entirely with men.

That’s a ridiculous argument. You don’t just hire any woman especially one you wouldn’t respect in a highly influential position of your campaign. One that can determine whether or not you sink or swim. You can definitely hire an intern or two that’s a woman or a minority if you want to fill a diversity quota though.

Oh, I love this new tactic of you dudes when we bring up things like pay equity: “You should be happy to have jobs at all.” No, giving teenagers paid entry level positions in NO WAY makes up for the fact that he clearly values male staffers more when it comes to the top paid slots.

I love how it can be assumed that because a campaign has so many women it MUST BE to “give off an impression of equity”. It couldn’t possibly be because she has a network that includes a lot of women, seeing as she’s been in such a male dominated landscape for so long. And it must be pandering, and not that she

So you’re telling me she has so many highly paid women staffers so this article could make it public to make her look good. You mean to say that all these women directly working her campaign in important positions of power that directly influence her campaign’s success to a very high degree that try to get her elected

(but I’m gray here, so it may wind up out of order by the time it’s ungrayed... C’mon, Jez likes me)

The results for Bernie illustrates my problem with him. He talks a great game but he doesn’t exactly inspire by his actions. Focusing on economic issues while overlooking systemic discrimination and unconscious biases is going to result in white males benefiting the greatest. I’m not comfortable with taking a backseat

Looking forward to the attempts to mansplain away the numbers.

Near-parity between genders on campaign staff? Imagine that!

As a Latina also supporting Hillary: expect nothing but contempt from white commenters here. They know what’s better for us and they are baffled that we dare to think for themselves and have reasons to vote for Hillary. How can we? They know what is better and they don't agree. We must be ignorant!

Please do elaborate on my interests? Because Income inequality isn’t fixing racism and the supposition that it will is ignorant as all hell. Like it’s literally infuriating. As is the fact that Sanders voted for the same crime bill that they like to throw in HRC’s face. I’m old enough to remember the crack epidemic

Great read!

I know just the place for you. New York's hottest club is Lego Wild West Town. This place has EVERYTHING! A telegraph office, a stagecoach, winos, Germfs – German smurfs – a Teddy Ruxpin wearing mascara, an old lady wearing Kid 'N Play hair, and none other than DJ Baby Bok Choy.
