It's $2700 now.
I don't know if they changed it because I believe it used to be 2400, but yeah.

I could swear it was 2400.
EDIT: Looks like this year it's 2700.
EDIT2: It looks like it's been inching up $100 a year for a few years now.

Your article on the Yale study on fracking links to the Daily Caller. Yuck.
The original study was in PNAS. But still. Yuck.

I feel like I'm sort of serious about politics and follow it closely... But I'd never do anything like this.

What in the world?
This person does realize that homophobia exists in the white community, right? The governor of North Carolina isn't black. The majority of the Mormons who tried to get that Proposition in California passed weren't black. Kim Davis isn't black. The cake shop homophobes aren't black.
Remove the gatdamn rafter from your own eye, dammit.
One of the things I despise most about modern politics, which is by no means exclusive to the Sanders campaign but is certainly very prominent within it, is the hatred of complexity. You must be able to explain your position on all issues in one sentence. Any acknowledgement that major issues tend to be complicated and have complicated solutions, and that with any policy all effects must be weighed and considered, is often treated as "having no principles" or "refusing to answer."
Make no mistake, I hate it when politicians waffle or evade to avoid having to answer a question as much as anyone else. But trying to evade a question and trying to provide a reasoned, nuanced response are not the same thing.
This particularly came to mind because of the posts about fracking. I'm reminded of earlier in the campaign where I saw some Sanders supporters sharing a picture which had Hillary and Sanders' views on fracking. The Sanders column just said "no", the Hillary one was a block of text. The implication that having a stance that takes more than one word to explain is wrong is a perfect demonstration of this hatred of complexity and nuance.
Another case which springs to mind is minimum wage, where apparently even suggesting that one uniform minimum wage for the entire country is not the best solution means you're not a true liberal. Frankly, that sort of argument disgusts me. It's a very Tea Partyish attitude of "I don't care what's right, I just want something simple and easy which appeals to my views without actually considering what is best."

Oh yeah, stop eyebrow shaming Kasich. Man can't help it. And people would be roasting him if he drew some in.
That is so cringey,Preview of the Queen's inauguration:

If one of those made it inside the car, she should get it laminated and keep it on the Oval Office desk.
Certain Bernie supporters are such jokes at this point (ala the gif). Self-parody at this point.
God, I already got like five texts from Bernie supporters telling me he is the first candidate in DECADES with INTEGRITY. lol. I want to tell them to fuck off, buuuut... I suspect I'll just get 30 more calls before primary day in PA. Goddamn it Bernie, why do you have to pretend you still have a chance before the PA primary arrived? I was hoping you'd jump ship so I could skip this annoying part of the process. Not like Hillary isn't going to win PA by ten at least.

Just look at this shit:
Superdelegates have destroyed the will of the people: As a political activist and hopeful millennial, I wont support a broken system by voting for Hillary
How does this column exist when Clinton is winning by any empirical metric and the only candidate talking about using superdelegates to win the nomination is fucking Sanders.
Their camp has sent like 12 different mixed messages about the validity of using superdelegates. It's really embarrassing how amateur hour the campaign is becoming. Most campaigns act a little silly about their odds as things look dire, but most of them know to bow out before it gets too ridiculous. Sanders camp right now is just...yikes. I mean Hillary was being pretty silly at points back in 2008 about her chances, but this is a whole new level of crazy right now compared to that.
That'll show em! :^)
I just had a look into the FEC letters. I imagine the volume of contributions is probably hard to deal with, why doesn't Bernie's campaign hire a few more accountants? Most of the pages are apparently listings of individuals contributed too much or may be impermissible.
I'm sure people are well-meaning but I'm feeling sorry for the campaign accountants by this point.
Shoot that look like enough for a pizza, i would have no shame
Just wait until Wednesday, I think the crazy level will go higher.

That Hillary tattoo was incredibly well done. I mean, I'm not saying I would do that....but....I'm not saying I wouldn't do that.
It's all so confusing.

Why didn't they throw monopoly money or something?
Also... I get that it's unfair to condemn the candidate and their campaign for the behavior of their supporters, but in a kind of Trumpesque way I can't help but feel that they've been egging on and enabling, or at least declining to condemn, some of the stupider things we've seen Bernie supporters latch onto. The messaging about Superdelegates is a big one, they started franticly screaming about how unfair it was, and now they're desperately trying to court them so you've got a whole bunch of people out there screaming about how superdelegates destroy the very idea of democracy and that's why they should all vote for Bernie and also caucus delegate manipulations are just the way the game's supposed to be played. There's a pretty yuge group of people being given a truly terrible education in the way politics works.

Why would you give $2999. This ain't a used car commercial. ROUND UP.
To be fair at this point Sanders' campaign has less time until it breaks down than your average used car.
"If we hit our goal of 3,000,000 calls before 7PM next week, we will be well on a track to win California 80-20! I did the math!"

You'll never have to bum money off Gordon anymore and we can go get pizza for PoliGAF. I like it. I think Little Caesar's gives us the best bang for our buck. We need to do that.

The funniest part is she wasn't in that car.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is an opposite effect of massive face banking if all of the stories are true from previous massive face banks
She can just have whoever is in the car killed so she can have the dollar.
New tactic: obnoxious facebanking for your opponent. :X
Remember the old adage "You can always count on the Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory".

I live in Ohio and see them occasionally. (which makes sense I guess)
Lil Casar's holds a master class in garbage pizza you let slide because it is cheap and even garbage pizza is good when you are hungry.

Oh god, my mom wants to phonebank for Queen today.
I'm.....I'm torn. On one side, FUCK YA, I want to watch that particular train wreck. On the other side.....oh god, what will she do?
Also, the NY numbers have been really, really good. I've gotten like 90-95% confirmed Clinton people.

Wants to outlaw technological innovation.
In this instance kind of. The Democrat party and people that are left-wing should be uniting and trying to rally behind one candidate and show that they are different than the carnival of the right...instead we have Bernie and the Democrat debate of last Thursday.
It's okay if you get a reasonable caller, I think.Question for you all: how many times would someone have to try and facebank you before it became seriously annoying?
I'm going with one
I got phoned by a Sanders volunteer once and I just gently told him I'm voting for Hillary. He rambled into a spiel about how "at least you're voting for a Democrat" but I'm pretty sure he wanted to say something else. The call ended amiably and I wasn't called again.
They're supposed to mark you down as a "Definitely Hillary" so that the phonebanking system doesn't turn your number up again.

You can keep the crazy bread, as long as we spring for the deep dish with cheese on the inside.
My mother when we were broke as shit used to but as many of them as she could and then freeze them so we can have them later.
You got your head on straight girl.
That's fair, I was thinking more of this annoying new method of spamming you with Facebook events
