No, it is not. It will take money for those candidates down the ballot to win an election. What are you imagining here, using shells from beach as currency? Good god. I’m appalled at how stupid this idea is.

A lot of Clinton supporters are quiet, to the point of silence (except with a ballot). We don’t want to offend Sanders supporters and don’t want to deal with the barrage of comments we would receive in certain places, so we stay quiet. Fortunately, there are more of us than there are Sanders voters. It just doesn’t…

Bernie supporters are the liberal version of Trump supporters. I can say that because I am one. We’re sick of the establishment & someone like him is extremely refreshing compared to business-as-usual candidates. That being said, I’m already sick of my fellow supporters thinking he’ll magically get everything he wants…

God this irritates me. She’s getting shit for helping candidates with less access to funds? Awesome. And I know she will benefit from this too, but come on. You said it perfectly.

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

Oh good lord, seriously? People can do what they want with their money. Jeez.

More than that, it’s not really being even held for Clinton, but the progressives down ballot. So, why is this rather important detail missing from the story?

Seriously, he is shooting himself in the foot. If he really wants to be President, he wants those down ticket candidates in the House and Senate. He won’t get anything done without more support in legislative branch.

Also, money is not inherently bad. It’s part of how the system works. Sometimes it corrupts, but not *always*. Congress got even worse when earmarks went away, because negotiation got that much more difficult. Money can also help a lot of people.

Yes he fucking is.

It should be noted that the fundraiser is for the Hillary Victory Fund, which does help Hillary’s campaign, but also donates to down-ticket races. This sort of funding is usually vital for smaller Democratic campaigns, who cannot acquire enough funding on their own to be competitive.

You do realize that this money is for down the ballot. She’s raising for the other candidates down ballot. How much has Bernie raised down ballot?

Reality doesn’t seem to matter to a lot of Sanders supporters. Not all, of course, but many.

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.

He just released his tax plan and I hear it’s good, but I can’t make heads of tails of it:

Rush is right; I do find him “threatening” but not for the reasons he listed. Instead, I find Ted Cruz threatening because I’m nearly certain that he truly, unequivocally believes the things that come out of his mouth, and that kind of shit should be threatening to most people.

I propose that if we only get her once a week, than each episode should be an hour long. The only problem with her show is that it is ends far too soon.

Watching her last night I finally had the feeling like yes we have a late night host who is skewering everyone who deserves it. When she read the feminist rule book and just said fuck it and destroyed her. John Oliver is great and fantastic at his job, but Sam Bee has that anger that we all feel hearing this type of…

goddamn i love her.
