Why? Why shouldn’t democrats use Hollywood celebrities to raise money? They are just going to waste it on frivolous shit otherwise. I want all the Hollywood money we can get to beat the republicans. They have the Koch brothers, we have Hollywood.

Once again, for the record.
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…
No, idiot. This money is for candidates down the ballot. OTHER PROGRESSIVES. How do you imagine this “revolution” will happen? We need other good progressives in office. To get them in office, we need money for them. She’s raising the money for the down the ballot candidates, something, by the way, Bernie has not done…
It may be Bernie’s biggest mistake was running as a democrat.
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.
I think its obscene that Sanders is bankrolling a losing campaign on the backs of the working poor.
Yes he fucking is.
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.
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.
Yes, I somehow feel that if said fundraiser was held for The Bern, he would no longer find it obscene in the least. Gawd. It’s not like Clooney is holding a Punch An Orphan fundraiser.
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?
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.
my question is where is Hillary’s advocacy on those issues?
Hello, I have a question: what in the actual fuck does “the establishment” even mean? Because it seems to me that people who rail against it pretty consistently fail to a) define what they mean by “establishment” to begin with and b) explain why “the establishment” is a Bad Thing.
Yeah, I don't like this one bit. And Bernie is an old, white straight man who has been in congress for decades. How is he not establishment?
Hillary Clinton has been around for a very, very long time. Some of these groups are, in fact, part of the establishment.
