"The partnership with the DNC announced last month allows individual donors to contribute up to $360,600 — a huge jump from the $5,600 maximum that an individual can donate to his campaign."
Cost per head at the virtual fundraiser was apparently $50k. Yay for oligarchy!
2,000,000/50,000 = 40
40 people if that's accurate. Broke a virtual fundraising record for Biden. LMAO. I think it's safe to say no small business owners, or blue collar workers attended or bought a seat at this fundraiser.
They can't get voters based on policy so they just have oligarchs dump unlimited sums of money into his senile ass campaign from his goddamn basement.
So fucking pathetic.

It is frustrating for sure..It should only matter who's gonna do more for the public. Bernie was the best choice we've had in like forever. All these rich dummies want is to continue making them and there cohorts $$$. Who cares whats needed most. People need to stop putting these pussy's on a pedestal, pathetic.
Believe it or not, It's our money. All of it!
It's our country, our government. We vote. Representatives should do what we want.
They work for us no matter what anyone says.
The tax laws should be fair to all of us.
As we had in the 50s and 60s, we should have the best school systems and medical that we all can afford.
That's never going to happen when all of our institutions have been sold to the highest bidders, including our congress and military.
those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable
unfortunately i don't see anything but heads rolling at this point changing anything. and that won't happen because they've been pitting left vs right against each other for the past 100yrs. we have a greater likelihood of killing each other and having our own heads be the ones rolling around rather than removing the actual causes of our problems from power.

Wish I did not agree with the closing statement , but I do.
They had become very good at stacking a deck.
yep and going forward it's only going to get worse as they have all of our data.
going forward i fully expect plant candidates to sound and act like Trump and Bernie but are fully in the pockets of the establishment and intelligence community to trick voters endlessly.
bernie should have been the candidate all political groups formed a "pact" over. he was always the compromise candidate, i never viewed him as perfect. but many of his key policies would have reformed our political system as a whole for all political ideologies.
for instance, the right and all other groups involved would have had an equal benefit to publicly funded elections, and the outright banning of private funding of campaigns. it would have ensured candidates going forward locally all the way up to the president basically had their feet held to the fire at all times by the people who financed and voted them into office, who could take away their jobs through democratic means any time they were due up for reelection. Which would have been a great start towards reformation.

If only Bernie would drop his anti gun policies many more would have been on board.

August 4th, 2019 quote from Bernie Sanders.
"There are more than 5 million assault weapons out on the streets of America, which is more than the U.S. military has. That is insane. We must ban the sale, distribution and transfer of assault weapons in the United States."
I'm opening up to the idea of health care for all but a ban on assault weapons is a no go for me.
every time i hear that, i am reminded of all of the times they say "if you are honest, why won't you let us blahblahblah..it's for your own good!" every step we take trying to mollify those that hate guns is another step toward confiscation. they will not stop until we are helpless when the govt decides that voting and shit like freedom is over-rated, not needed, and contrary to THEIR needs...like not getting shot when kicking in the wrong fucking door. no, just fucking no. ever.
I'v got guns and live in one of the most restrictive states.
The way I figure is that it's a matter of time before some nutcase goes and does something so horrific that they decide to go after all the guns. If honest people just say we don't want nuts to have guns then it's on them because the system failed. I'v got no problem having what is in effect a security clearance to have them.

well in the absence of information -
like their complete medical records -
it's easier to write them off as a 'nutcase'
in other words, an "other", not one of us
OK i admit, Dahmer was not normal
i think a lot of the mass shooters are normal.
we just don't know what their 'buttons' were.
(and of course there's the obvious - they had very little
to lose)
because of the pace of shootings before the pandemic, in the period of time from the Las Vegas shooting to Parkland to the C&W bar in Santa Barbara, i expect there will be more & bigger.
but i'm glad for the "time out" because it keeps the gun grabbers from moving their plans to the front burner.
The Police have way to much power over the people they are suppose to be protecting. I'm no fan of the powers they have. I rarely find 1 I can tolerate. They can kick in any door at any time for any reason.
Where I live at about 2am I herd sirens out front. I got up to go check it out. The police said they saw a suspect run into the house across the street. I know who lives there, its a elderly lady that lives alone. The cops kicked in her door (now she had no front door)found no person they where looking for but traumatized the lady so bad she sold her home and moved that week. The cops are nothing but the largest gang in the USA.
Good and bad , just like any other job.
Yeah it does suck when they get it wrong,cant imagine they dont lose sleep over it.
As for mass shooters, there has been a lot of documentation that an unusually high percentage of them were on mood altering prescription drugs.
My argument against gun control works like this.
Look at all the money that has spent over the years on trying to vilify guns and gun owners. Where would we be today as a nation if they had spent all of that money on mental health research and education?
