Presidential candidates court wealthy donors while Trump dominates small-dollar fundraising




How ActBlue Is Trying To Turn Small Donations Into A Blue Wave

Middle class/working class joes giving their hard earned money to rich folks is just kind of hard to understand...Referring to the small donations that is...

The money goes on TV adverts(money going to big networks) & consultancy firms(already rich folks)...lots of other cogs in the wheel...but those 2 seem to eat a huge chuck of change

If Biden was 20 points ahead before the debates it probably wouldnt be enough. Trump will 'Rag doll' him in the debates. At the moment people are contemplating Biden....and that's all it will be. The Americans are a profoundly cautious and sensible people .

Laughable. All these recent logins showing up to yatter on with Trump winning a head-to-head debate, which he profoundly, abjectly LOST to HRC in 2016.

He still can't put two sentences together. He melts down to softball questions from the press. When he's asked a loaded question in the debate, will he say "That's a nasty question?" or "She's bleeding out of her wherever?"

It's just a Trrumpist echo-chamber when it comes to this nonsense- they're desperate for anything to give them some hope for the worst failure in US electoral history to be a Presidential candidate in US electoral history, the #IMPOTUS, has a glimmer of hope so their few votes aren't simply wasted. Biden will annihilate him. It'll be over after the first debate for Trump.

No one's undecided at this point.

The best part is when Trump will try to deflect to his accomplishments. Worst unemployment rates ever. 150,000+ excess deaths due to Covid (that number's a conservative guess based on where things are today and a debate in October or so.) Collapsed economy, negative GDP for the months leading up.

Debate. Hah. Good luck.

Democrats have made it clear that they are the party of high taxes, high crime, and RADICAL SOCIALISM.

It’s up to YOU to send a message that America will NEVER be a socialist country. President Trump needs you on his team to ensure victory and help us Keep America Great.

I mean, who wrote that, with the accusatory tone directly aimed at Democrats, it's not even allowing room for any conservatively inclined Democrat to even think 'This guy might still be my guy'

Good news for the Trump campaign since AOC is still elected. AOC was elected for the same reason trump was i.e. a reaction to the establishment. Biden will find it difficult to pull the party towards the centre.

If they were regulated, which means providing a balanced platform to all sides of discourse, it would mean nothing to Trump's tweets. As long as Twitter is the most effective way of communicating to an audience, he'll continue to use it.

The problem Google, Facebook and Twitter have ( along with media companies with failing business models such as the Guardian/ BBC/ NY Times )... is that they provide a free service, so it must be paid for by advertisers. Additionally, they actively promote conflict ( ' right ' vs ' left ' ) in the way they frame their stories, as it artificially creates engagement to boost advertisers interest.

No advertiser/ brand owner wants to be associated with anything ambiguous or remotely risky...which has meant a sort of daft lefty frame taking hold amongst these companies. A fake social justice agenda to appease advertisers.

Let the media companies fail and regulate the role of social media companies in public discourse and discussions will return back to centre-left/ right. This is where they were up until recently.

It's fair to say that this has been seriously ramped up since about 2006. This was the first time I remember the broadsheets introducing opinion and narrative-based articles ( these used to be confined editorial comments ).

Then recently came the introduction of weapons-grade analytics that could shape opinions with much greater degrees of precision.

It’s fair to say hat Trump is the most socialist president of all time; the widest deficit since WW2, a host of pork barrel spending policies incorporating a trillion on infrastructure, 2 trillion on unemployment schemes, and trillions on Fed schemes to support heavily indebted companies to prevent them going bust and their employees losing their jobs;

Help me out here. What’s has Joe Biden’s said how he, as president, would handle the violence, destruction and mayhem that has been plaguing urban cities like Seattle, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Washington DC and the other cities experiencing devastation? Left unchecked they’ll just continue. I can’t find anything. You’d think someone wanting to be president wouldn’t cower away from showing leadership and taking a stance on the violence and mayhem just because it might be discomforting to his campaign. Of course it is Joe Biden, and he doesn't seem to have intestinal fortitude, so 'run, hide' might be his go-to position.

Maybe he hasn't spoken about it because he (as would i) expects the current president to get on with the job of fixing this. Or do you believe this will run on through the election and onto January's inauguration?

Trump reminds me of a trade execution analyst, divide and conquer until you get the best price. He just applied it to every problem, does not really work for a society though.

Trump had nothing to do with how the violent protests came about. And Biden would probably do what he is doing now... cowering in silence.

cowering in silence? ironic coming from a fan of BunkerBitch. a term i will use every time you mention Biden "cowering in silence". Biden was able to appear in public without having to tear gas people in his path.

I already said that this could have been handled much differently if the President had expressed dismay that some people in Black Communities continued to experience prejudice, he could have pointed to much improvement in racial relationships which would have appeased some conservatives by acknowldging that that things were better in some ways for blacks then they had been. He could have gone further to calm their sense of being targeted by saying that there are white people who experience prejudice also and that our society needs to be better able to treat all people fairly. He could have pointed to incidents where police have been targeted and said that they too know what it is like to feel attacked.
All that would have said 'All Lives Matter' in a much less argumentative way.
He could have then said that it was important that people could exercise their 1st amendment right and that he was going to ask law enforcement to allow this to happen without conflict, unless looting or property destruction started.
He could have then said that right now, that Black communities are especially aggrieved and that he is going to form a committee to investigate this with members of black communities, participants from both sides of the political aisles and a key black person to be involved in leading it. Hell, this could even have been Kanye to help communicate the message to black communities that he was listening.

But instead, he used inflammatory divisive language and extolled state governors to get really physical or that they would look like jerks and said that anyone arrested should get 10 years in jail.

As I also said before, he could have used this in his campaign to say he needed a second term to see this through.
He is so absolutely, irrefutably, incapable of measured strategic thinking and facilitating finding a middle ground that I would expect he would be incapable of sorting out a dispute between two families in the two houses of a semi-d.

Note in what I said above, I didn't say here's what Biden would have done. Because Biden isn't President. If I can outline a basic strategy which would have helped calm things and would also have actually helped Trump towards re-election, I think someone who is a career politician and who was Vice President for 8 years would have managed it. Not to mention that his friend, the former Black President of the US would no doubt assist in communicating a conciliatory message.

‘Something something pot-stirring post du jour’

Someone is still seething that Biden is soaring in the polls from the comfort of his living room and he demands it end and he wants all of us to be just as upset about it.

As for you “not finding” anything Biden has said that’s not surprising in the least, though it far from demonstrates that he didn’t, it just seems to further demonstrate your notoriously selective research skills

BS. Trump has done more for the black community than the 6 presidents before him. The problem lies with the democrat mayors and governors of the cities experiencing violence and mayhem. If they would have respected peaceful protests and not allowed looting, violence, mayhem and destruction it would not be what is it today... out of control! If people think they can get away with crimes, nothing stops them from partaking in it again when they feel they've been wronged.

Yes, Biden isn't president but he wants to be. He should be strong and tell us what he would do so we can decide to vote for him, or not. Not cower in his basement bunker.

So it appears likely it was Joe Biden who initially pushed for the illegal spying on Michael Flynn by maliciously misapplying the Logan Act as his excuse. Perhaps Trump should tweet out he perhaps should recommend to the DOJ that they bring charges against John Kerry who is ACTUALLY in violation of the Logan Act with his continued negotiations with Iran... and then watch the democrats and their media handmaidens heads collectively explode.

Cowering in a bunker? Lol. Trump went down to his in the white house on numerous occasions. While having the secret service to protect him.
