That was quick

That was less than two hours after announcing.

I'm sure that this is just a coincidence.

Bernie Sanders Bests Kamala Harris’ First-Day Donor Total in Four Hours

Brian Snyder
In just over the first four hours of his 2020 presidential campaign, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) had already raised money from 42,000 donors, a total that bested the number Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) had hit in the first full day of her campaign. The campaign estimated that Sanders had raised $1.2 million in three-and-a-half hours on Tuesday. The figure is another sign of the incredible money-raising prowess that Sanders brings to the race. Up to this point, Harris had been the most dynamic fundraiser among Democratic candidates in the race, having raised a whopping $1.5 million in 24 hours after declaring from more than 38,000 individual donors. That number, the Harris campaign noted at the time, had surpassed the number of individual donors for Sanders in his first day of running during his 2016 bid. Now, Sanders’ current campaign, says they have already received contributions that beat both of those figures.

Getting all this Sanders' hate out there, from the get-go, is going to backfire (it already is) on these asshole Bernie haters, bigtime. Getting this out in the open is great for us Sanders' supporters! Mark my words!!!

...donations from all 50 states!

Bernie Sanders Received Donations From All 50 States Within Hour of 2020 Presidential Announcement
Newsweek
By Alexandra Hutzler On 2/19/19 at 10:02 AM

When Senator Bernie Sanders announced his 2020 presidential run on Tuesday, it sparked an immediate wave of donations from across the country.

“I wanted to let the people of the state of Vermont know about this first,” Sanders told Vermont Public Radio this morning. “And what I promise to do is, as I go around the country, is to take the values that all of us in Vermont are proud of—a belief in justice, in community, in grassroots politics, in town meetings—that's what I'm going to carry all over this country."

Shortly after his announcement, his campaign tweeted that “supporters from all 50 states have donated to our unprecedented grassroots campaign.” NBC News political reporter Alex Seitz-Wald tweeted that the campaign confirmed that Sanders had received donations from all 50 states within an hour of his launched 2020 bid...

Subir wrote a diary on whether this was appropriate for DK to have one of its prominent staff saying this.

One comment in in it. As you can probably guess, shit show ensued.

This site SHOULD officially adopt an anti-Bernie stance. This site made a HORRIBLE mistake last time trying to accommodate the Bernie people, who spent the ENTIRE FUCKING PRIMARY baselessly attacking the Democratic Party.

This time, it should be made clear that this guy, who AGAIN left the Democratic Party, that he’s not welcome in the Democratic party primaries. Because he’s not a Democrat!

Then we had people being called out for being Russian trolls.......

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

@WaterLily

about someone else being a Putin lover or Russian bot... there was a whole thread on it until someone posted it. So your comment is relevant.

A few bits from it so that no one has to go over there.

Markos routinely retweets and interacts with this editor. Silence is implicitly sanctioning this behavior. It also raises some significant questions since Markos is back on MTP and MSNBC as a surrogate for “progressives”. What should other guests on MSNBC make of Markos and the site that bears his name?

Is this what the site’s leadership believes the public face of Daily Kos should be?

Is this an indication of where this site stands?

How many editors on this site intend to “fuck Bernie” if he runs?

When did this site’s prominent contributors decide rat-fucking Democratic candidates was part of their mission?

Can DK claim to speak for progressive Democrats if its editors engage in this kind of rhetoric?

Has this site learned absolutely no lessons from 2016?

Can it claim to speak for Democrats at all, if its editors slur prominent leaders in this way?

More fundamentally, what is this site for?

Because if this editor retains his position after these tirades, it definitely does not stand for “unity”.

Welcome to the club. Cash or Crypto because the banks have picked their candidate, and as private entities are fully within their rights to not do business ith those they find objectionable.

And if they need a REASON, Bernie's Racist/Sexist. They don't even have to prove it, just point to the ethnicity/sex of whoever he's voting for, and there's a couple news cycles totally eaten up until Hill's Coronation, Part 3. "This time for sure"

Just noticed Bernie is trending on Twitter - in two places. One tag called Sanders and one called Bernie.

is just one more example of how terrified the TPTB is of Bernie. At the same time it's laughable that they think that their feeble attempt to slow his donations will have any effect other than to make us more determined to support his campaign. He got my first 27 bucks this morning. Can't wait to see how much he's raised by the end of the first day. Betcha it's gonna blow some minds!
