Please enlighten everyone as to why I want to be "demoralizing".

nb: Just got off a Biden campaign call where another ask was made for support from major donors.

Well, not really. lees1975 Jul 2024 #104

Thank you,lees1975!! I'm sick of all the twisted "news" crap going against Biden. BComplex Jul 2024 #128

Yeah, post-debate Biden raised twice as much in half the time as Trump. lees1975 Jul 2024 #138

I just sent him $100. I'll take my chances. Firestorm49 Jul 2024 #2

I sent some money yesterday too. Not as much as you did, Greybnk48 Jul 2024 #27

I sent him some $$ today, though not as much as you. greatauntoftriplets Jul 2024 #40

It definitely does. greatauntoftriplets Jul 2024 #67

Yeah this has been Cha Jul 2024 #72

If it's bad for us, I can't imagine what it's been like for President Biden. greatauntoftriplets Jul 2024 #77

Yes I have thought of that. Cha Jul 2024 #93

" four sources close to the re-election effort." who also happen to work on putins troll farm. nt ImNotGod Jul 2024 #3

You have evidence for that? brooklynite Jul 2024 #6

Well .. FarPoint Jul 2024 #35

The campaign needs close to a billion dollars for the campaign. brooklynite Jul 2024 #41

They are doing just fine...we will support Biden FarPoint Jul 2024 #63

And now you have identified the root cause of all our problems Grolph_ Jul 2024 #86

Fucking classic! FHRRK Jul 2024 #87

Yes, "un-named" sources say that while the campaign itself says something very different... Think. Again. Jul 2024 #68

However, Trump outraised Biden in the second quarter: Music Man Jul 2024 #100

That maybe so... sheshe2 Jul 2024 #111

That article does not contradict the OP hardluck Jul 2024 #108

When was the last time you posted a positive post Emile Jul 2024 #4

Did you bother to check? brooklynite Jul 2024 #11

Your positive posts just don't get the clicks LOL! LeftInTX Jul 2024 #16

Some have reputations. shrike3 Jul 2024 #19

Usually well-earned Prairie Gates Jul 2024 #71

... sheshe2 Jul 2024 #117

He posted three very long positive posts after SO many doomsday posts jmbar2 Jul 2024 #74

Thanks Emile Jul 2024 #75

I'm just amazed at so many long posts in such a short period of time jmbar2 Jul 2024 #78

So we should choose our nominee for President based on a poll of donors? Jersey Devil Jul 2024 #5

Did somebody say that? brooklynite Jul 2024 #12

Well, all your posts seem to be suggesting that Biden should withdraw so what other conclusion can there be Jersey Devil Jul 2024 #24

I don't think my posts suggest anything. brooklynite Jul 2024 #33

Breathlessly declaring a "disaster" is what started this whole mess to begin with Jersey Devil Jul 2024 #42

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219131688 Think. Again. Jul 2024 #73

Doesn't have the "party" unified behind him. choie Jul 2024 #101

Soooo... sheshe2 Jul 2024 #116

I love this post so, so very much. edisdead Jul 2024 #121

Thank you, ed. sheshe2 Jul 2024 #127

Right? it's one of those Bettie Jul 2024 #122

They are taking their ball and going home!!! sheshe2 Jul 2024 #130

They are so used to their money insulating them Bettie Jul 2024 #131

Major donors, in fact. bluescribbler Jul 2024 #37

Yeap.... FarPoint Jul 2024 #57

Sometimes you get a big boost in fundraising because something good happened. BlueCheeseAgain Jul 2024 #7

NO. The boost after the debate was born of commitment to the candidate! nt Trueblue Texan Jul 2024 #105

Maybe Joe should commit some felonies. LuvLoogie Jul 2024 #8

In the next debate, he should refuse to answer the questions. kerry-is-my-prez Jul 2024 #112

thank gosh for anonymous people, NBC would wither away if it had to actually name sources nt msongs Jul 2024 #9

Nobody seemed to care when anonymous sources spill the beans on the Trump White House. brooklynite Jul 2024 #14

We also have elite newspapers like the Times making journo 101 errors. shrike3 Jul 2024 #25

Got Hillary in there. Good job. shrike3 Jul 2024 #10

Why yes, yes they did. sheshe2 Jul 2024 #118

When in doubt, slam Hillary. shrike3 Jul 2024 #123

So...what's the solution? Blaukraut Jul 2024 #13

If Biden to withdraw, the new candidate will have to collect his own funds. LisaL Jul 2024 #15

Could Biden turn those funds over to the new nominee? Blaukraut Jul 2024 #21

Nope. Unless its Harris, all that money goes back to the donors. shrike3 Jul 2024 #26

And if they step over Biden and Kamala, they might as well give the Trump keys to the White House right now, LisaL Jul 2024 #46

Yep. But the PTB know so much better than us peons. shrike3 Jul 2024 #48

They will get their tax cuts if Trump is elected. LisaL Jul 2024 #50

I guess the simplest answer is usually the correct one. shrike3 Jul 2024 #51

False. Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #62

Different than everything I've read, from reputable sources. It goes back to donors, who can then redonate shrike3 Jul 2024 #88

Well, you made the initial assertion, so show your work Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #89

Here ya go. NBC okay? shrike3 Jul 2024 #91

From your link: Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #92

Um -- you know a superpac is not a candidate, right? shrike3 Jul 2024 #95

You claimed the Biden-Harris campaign *must* return donations to donors Fiendish Thingy Jul 2024 #97

its not that you have to return the money to donors if the campaign ends... brooklynite Jul 2024 #99

Okey-dokey. And here I thought you said Biden could just give the money to the next candidate. shrike3 Jul 2024 #124

If he's going to continue as the nominee... brooklynite Jul 2024 #17

He actually doesn't need to do anything. LisaL Jul 2024 #22

Not the issue... brooklynite Jul 2024 #28

Here, I will agree. shrike3 Jul 2024 #30

And would it have done any good to switch out Bernie for Hillary? LeftInTX Jul 2024 #66

I - again - am not saying Biden should be replaced. brooklynite Jul 2024 #69

So says the "Party line" choie Jul 2024 #103

What more can he do, though? Blaukraut Jul 2024 #45

He has to sit down with them directly. brooklynite Jul 2024 #47

Doesn't Joe have a press conference tomorrow? Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 #49

Will it help? Yes. Will it be a BIG help? I don't know. brooklynite Jul 2024 #53

Thank you n/t Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 #54

That's a reasonable ask. n/t Blaukraut Jul 2024 #56

I agree. shrike3 Jul 2024 #96

Yup. sheshe2 Jul 2024 #133

DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS. Nt BootinUp Jul 2024 #18

Care to elaborate? brooklynite Jul 2024 #20

No. BootinUp Jul 2024 #23

Sounds like Carville's making progress. Good for him. (sarcasm) shrike3 Jul 2024 #29

I think we all can learn from BIden taking sh* t + plowing ahead ... DoBW Jul 2024 #44

Don't underestimate guys like Biden. shrike3 Jul 2024 #135

jfc... donate folks. Especially if you are demanding that the critics shut up. ecstatic Jul 2024 #31

Why even post this propaganda? FarPoint Jul 2024 #32

Its useful to know the facts and respond accordingly... brooklynite Jul 2024 #36

Exactly, thanks again n/t Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 #39

Me too. ananda Jul 2024 #58

boom there it is DoBW Jul 2024 #59

Thanks for this and your other posts on the subject Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 #34

Thanks for the reminder to kick in another 50 bucks. emulatorloo Jul 2024 #38

Oh hi. phylny Jul 2024 #43

Me too on both points.. PunkinPi Jul 2024 #139

Umm they raised $127 Million in June with $38 million of that after the debate on the 27th krawhitham Jul 2024 #60

Yes there was a spurt after the debate; it has subsequently dropped off. brooklynite Jul 2024 #64

Un-named sources say that, the campaign itself says very different..... Think. Again. Jul 2024 #65

As long as they send the money to Democrats running for Congress, it should be fine. Freethinker65 Jul 2024 #79

I just came home tonight from an event filled with Dems mainer Jul 2024 #81

Well, the average folks, the ones who are not politically connected that I know, aren't talking about the debate at all. shrike3 Jul 2024 #136

It'll be a problem until it stops being profitable saying that there's a problem. nt Buns_of_Fire Jul 2024 #82

Here's a question for you Deminpenn Jul 2024 #83

My feelings exactly. LisaL Jul 2024 #84

I think you meant "wouldn't" in the last sentance FHRRK Jul 2024 #90

You're aware that I don't support replacing Biden, right? brooklynite Jul 2024 #98

Maybe not Jersey Devil Jul 2024 #102

No, but good to know. That gives you a special responsibility Deminpenn Jul 2024 #119

I've shared my opinion, as well as what I think Biden needs to do... brooklynite Jul 2024 #125

Good job, then Deminpenn Jul 2024 #137

I just donated too LostOne4Ever Jul 2024 #85

Yeah, right gay texan Jul 2024 #107

ooooh...somebody's seeing their tax breaks slip away. ret5hd Jul 2024 #110

In which case, why were they finding Biden in the first place? brooklynite Jul 2024 #129

Uh huh..... edisdead Jul 2024 #120

Four sources close to the re-election effort?!! Horrors!!! Scrivener7 Jul 2024 #126

Gotta love that this was meant to be a grim and demoralizing humble brag post BannonsLiver Jul 2024 #132
