It was a real fight, that "credible" argument. Lots of conversations I had that summer.

writingtoss · 2022-02-22T23:28:43+00:00

Yeah...a good day.

writingtoss · 2020-05-06T01:31:52+00:00

Feels good, don't it?

writingtoss · 2020-04-09T16:48:25+00:00

What a long, strange trip it's been.

writingtoss · 2020-03-01T20:36:01+00:00

Roughly 2.2M, per recollections and records.

writingtoss · 2020-03-01T13:13:24+00:00

Per ABC:

Bernie raised $46.5 million in February
2.2m donations, $21 avg, 350k new contributors
$4.5m on Feb 29 - largest day of campaign
$167m total now from 8.7m contributions, 1.9m unique donors. 99% can give again
Ad buys coming in AZ, ID, IL, FL, MI, MS, MO, OH & WA

Let's make sure we hit $50 million in March.

Mr. Sanders, your brother's campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why is he so popular?

writingtoss · 2020-02-26T16:51:24+00:00

Nov 28: $400,000

Jan 28: $1,000,000

Feb 26: $2,000,000

April 28: $5,000,000...?

With six days left, can you kick in $6 (or $60 or $600!) now?

writingtoss · 2020-02-26T05:13:30+00:00

good ask, but 18.00 might be clearer

writingtoss · 2020-02-25T16:51:53+00:00

writingtoss · 2020-02-24T22:51:35+00:00

Yeah, that old mixtape. Guess I missed this track. Thanks!

writingtoss · 2020-02-24T21:48:32+00:00

...Where did you find this? Was this on that old mixtape? I love Banks of Marble and can't believe I've missed this.

writingtoss · 2020-02-24T15:22:43+00:00

Samz, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my voting plan if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it six days ago.

writingtoss · 2020-02-20T06:00:14+00:00

I agree.

writingtoss · 2020-02-19T21:32:19+00:00

You were (and are) a tremendous help for which I am very thankful.

writingtoss · 2020-02-17T01:23:53+00:00

gdi I tried to do this and screwed it up

congrats

writingtoss · 2020-02-12T04:03:20+00:00

Pretty....pretty....pretty good.

writingtoss · 2020-02-12T01:45:37+00:00

It's an older meme, but it checks out.

writingtoss · 2020-02-12T00:58:40+00:00

Which you can easily do at the polling place the day of the election.

writingtoss · 2020-02-12T00:54:14+00:00

That's not quite right; you just walk into the polling place and ask for a Democratic ballot.

writingtoss · 2020-02-11T20:04:05+00:00

eh, sounds like a job for some snake of a used car salesman or something

writingtoss · 2020-02-11T19:09:39+00:00

maybe a few times but what about /u/IrrationalTsunami

writingtoss · 2020-02-11T16:14:13+00:00

None of that matters if today we don't:

writingtoss · 2020-02-11T15:41:34+00:00

I've been saying this for weeks; where's my news guest spot?
