“However, that message ― paid for by Bernie, not the billionaires ― is reinforced in all of his communications. And I think that’s an extremely smart strategy,” said Erikson. “That message is motivating people to give, it’s making people feel like their contribution can make a difference.”

It’s not dissimilar from the approach that Clinton and some of the GOP candidates have sought to use. Clinton in particular has sought to highlight her appeal to small donors, repeatedly emailing her list asking for donations of $1, which would drive down the amount of her average donation.

During her concession speech Tuesday in New Hampshire, she noted that “more than 700,000 people have contributed to this campaign, the vast majority giving less than $100. I know that doesn’t fit with the narrative.”

Id love to see if this is true or not. Love Dolly!
