    I remember when Bernie was running and there were people saying that they were dirt poor and giving $100 to Bernie because they were desperate for M4A and were going to die without it.
    I was concerned at the time that this was hedging the mother of all bets. I still think about those people.

      And Bernie getting criticized for fundraising from the poor

        Bernie deserves shit for funneling the Our Revolution pac's donations into the mainstream Democratic Party apparatus to support neoliberal downballot candidates after both primary campaigns. If more of his poorest donors understood where this money actually went, they wouldn't be giving out $100 of their hard-earned cash. It's the same sort of bait-and-switch fundraising grift Obama pulled in 2008 but the libs kept saying Bernie was an "outsider" (even though he's fucking married to the Democratic Party and votes the party line consistently), and young radicals fell for the kayfabe.

      People donate to political campaigns because it makes them feel like they're doing good. It's only worthwhile to donate to a campaign in my mind if you understand how they're going to spend the money which was pretty well understood with the Bernie campaign and isn't well understood with other ones.

      That's all this person is doing... Imagining.

      Nobody who is 25 can afford that shit. And if they can, they're probably a republican

        There are probably in the range of 100,000 25 year olds in the US that can afford that donation amount.

        People who work in big tech, banking, consulting or law can all afford that.

    McGrath is a loser and a grifter, but these stupid libs love giving her their money.

      I’ve never seen a candidate more clearly paid to lose than McGrath. I’m from Kentucky and what they did to Booker pisses me off just as much as what they did to Bernie.

    LOL, I can't figure out what is more idiotic, giving money to Amy McGrath, who ran as a Pro-Trump democrat, and wanted to help him "get things done". Or giving money to Harris/Biden who promises to take the Obama horror show and turn it up to 11. Also who the fuck has 2x 1500$ to dump on these ghouls at the age of 25?

          I'm in the UK and currently I lack the funds to get a bus to the pharmacy to fetch my stomach medication and stop the severe cramping pain - affording even a cheap plane ticket to South America is out of my current grasp.

          Definitely considered it a few times though.

    That's a down payment on a nice car.

    Also, and I can't emphasize this enough, Biden and Amy are already getting millions. Maybe, just maaaaaaaybe, their problem isn't funding?

    Fucking capitalists.

    Lmao, McGrath is behind like 15 points you fucking mark. Her literal raison d’être is fundraising for the DNC.

    "Most important election"? Even after the SCOTUS is clearly lost to the Republicans? Can someone remind me what's actually at stake here if you legitimately believe the only options are Trump and Biden, besides marginal short-run differences? There's no way these people have the balls to even consider demanding Biden packs the court if he wins.

      On second thought I'm looking at this comment again. This person is only 25 years old. They would have been 21 in 2016 and 17 in 2012. Some Libs in their early/mid 20s who didn't pay enough attention during their teens might legitimately believe this "most important election" bullshit because they're not old enough to remember when the Dems pulled this same bullshit in 2004, using "Dubya bad" to scare progressives into supporting the bland-as-fuck flip-flopping Iraq-invasion-supporting loser that was John Kerry. They used the "we're running against the party of Bush" line in 2008 pretty damn hard too, although at that time progressives thought they were actually getting a good deal with Obama (reminder that this is pre-Occupy Wall Street, at which point US working-class consciousness was somewhere in the neighborhood of brain-dead).

        Anyone who thinks Trump is a bigger threat then W. Bush is either young, or has brainworms-induced amnesia. He and Cheney were truly vile creatures, and the Invasion of Iraq was much worse then calling the troops "losers", but libs love to white-wash Bush.

          Remember in 2006 when crowds of mostly-Mexican undocumented migrant workers came out of the woodwork on May Day in an attempt to strike and march for their rights and the feds just quietly deported a bunch of them later in retaliation when people stopped paying attention? I sure didn't, until I was reminded that the "Day without an Immigrant" protests happened over 10 years later. The CBP crackdowns in Portland are a mere extension of this, just with the mask off.

    Mcgrath had been slipping in polling and the dnc is still acting like she can still win. Just one giant grift

      I don't think the dnc ever thought bloodbath McGrath would win. She's just a cashcow to raise money nationally for a lost Senate race, and I think she's already raised like 40mil, they have no belief she'll win, imo.

        The DNC knows she's gonna get destroyed. But lib voters genuinely think she has a shot and they're gonna be all "How could McConnell win by 20 points all these polls show Kentuckians hate him!?" because they don't understand how politics works on the ground. Yeah Kentuckians may not like the guy but they sure are gonna vote for him. And McConnell has a machine working in KY, he would win against Jesus himself.
