In fairness to retro, he did make a bunch of arguments earlier today and got called sexist, which I actually thought was fairly harsh given the conversation. I don't really think that saying that people might be weirded out by electing another Clinton is intrinsically a sexist position, although I tend to agree that the institutional sexism in the way of women is part of why the first competitive female candidate for President is part of the immediate family of a previous President.
To be honest, things changed so rapidly that I tend to suspect Hillary just didn't expect to live in a country where she could realistically become president until after Bill had already run and won.
There have actually been a few discussion-oriented Bernie posters today, which is a lot better than the shitscape of the day before, so again I think dramatis is being a little harsh. I wouldn't include scoobiedoo's posts in that collection, though, those posts just sucked.

I feel like it needs to be discussed. I'd love to hear why he is different from Dean, Jerry Brown, et al. Regardless, I guess everyone is busy on Sundays because it already fell off the first page.

Haha, come on now, at this point the level of snark and condescension is dropping below Hillary Clinton's favorability ratings!
hint: that's very low

Just got done reading. This might be one of the best articles I've read this cycle, and I hope some Bernie supporters take solace in it and don't just read the headline. The big problem I see is that this already happened in 2008 to to a large extent. If young people had actually come out to vote and helped keep a democratic mandate it would have gone a long way in starting to pull the party left. And we've seen time and time again how quick young people are to disengage from politics.
I mean, this is pretty much what I'm talking about. Are you just here to troll people and shitpost?

So, I mean, post some serious discussion or some news.* You've failed to do so! That's basically the point I'm trying to make. You'll notice my posts contain content as well as snark.
* I mean, I guess Seth Abramson articles qualify, so good job there, but if you wrap it in a shitpost and then just continue to shitpost and ignore the responses you get, I think you have pretty much failed to post in good faith.
Okay, that's the context I was looking for, thanks. (Obviously the page length, while a nice jump quote, is just a reflection of the fact that the FEC includes lists of donors for infractions involving illegal donations, and not for infractions involving illegal expenditures.)
It looks like Bernie's campaign is just really bad at making sure people aren't donating past the legal limit or that they're not, you know, from France or whatever. Which does seem pretty messy and straightforwardly illegal. I am not sure why they're so bad at that.
The amount of times the Bernie Sanders campaign has broken the rules and received only a slap on the wrist for it is getting exhausting.
I can't wait for Tuesday.

If you guys like the FEC stuff, there's a Twitter account for you: https://twitter.com/EveryDemDonor/
It tweets the name, amount, and occupation of people that have donated to either candidate. The funniest thing is looking at the mentions because people get salty at certain occupations.
There's one for GOP too.

I don't think he's saying that. If you want to post in this thread, and the subject of your posts is politics, go right ahead!
Just...don't post something that's easily debunked, and then get upset or cry Hillary bias when...well, it gets debunked.
Eh, I wouldn't say this. It is fairly standard practice for something like this to occur. Not necessarily on this scale, but punitive action usually does not occur until there is clear disregard or flouting of federal rules. Even then, you are typically talking about a corrective action that can be resolved in a given time-frame.

The negative numbers indicate that they refund the donor because they learn of an infraction. And then the donor donates again? Odd...
Every one? So the whole world knows that I'm unemployed and donated twenty dollars to Birdie?
I'm just trying to give you helpful feedback so that you can actually be a useful member of the community, man. Apparently it hurt your feelings when I said your posts are bad, but I responded to your interesting and substantive posts yesterday and you'll note that critique came at the end of a post about how there have been a bunch of good Bernie supporter posts. It's not my fault you chose to make only shitty posts today and I pointed that out.

The overarching point of not just PoliGAF, or Community, but the forum as a whole is discussion. So I guess, stop being babies about it? You're all meant to be 13 at least from memory.
Can't wait for First Lady Huma Abedin once Hillary wins re-election and Bill is released from his contract.

When the very first person on your itemized list of irregularities has donations adding up to of $2700, $2669.05 and $2700, along with a last name starting in "Abd-" your campaign is probably starting on the wrong foot in terms of claiming you randomly missed some errors.
This is incredibly funny because it looks like he was going out of his way to not break $2700 via using regular contributions, but in the end accidentally did by $100.

I agree with you on this, perhaps....however, it fits the pattern that we've been seeing coming from his campaign.
They accessed Hillary's data illegally...then sued over their own rule breaking.
They pretended to be union members to access private, union only areas to campaign.
They used AARP's logo, along with the one environmental group to pretend he endorsements he didn't have.
They've lied about who advises the campaign on foreign policy.
They lied about the DREAMER who they said endorsed Bernie when she hadn't.
They had paid staffers from Australia working on the campaign in New Hampshire.
They've had serious issues with fairly basic aspects of campaign finance.
So....ya, this isn't a big thing, but if Hillary had done one of these things, we'd be hearing about it all day long. Bernie does it, and he gets the benefit of the doubt. There's a double standard there. No question about it.

You only have to give your employer information if you donate more than $200, I think it is. Somewhere arodn there.

Thanks for posting. I think it's just possibile Bernie might be able to count on Scott's vote, and I can't fault his analysis, either

Let me slightly clarify. My remark was directed at some type of perceived expected action from the fed that had failed to occur (I might have misread Royal). I agree that the Bernie left would be shitting all over the place about anything like this for Hillary. The quoted letter from the FEC is standard action for any campaign, and is fairly similar to how any state or local agency deals with federal entities.
It's somewhere near Portugal, right?
