13. Zuckerberg and his wife only forwarded a few FB employees' CV's over at THE EMPLOYEES' own request

It is a flat out lie to say he is involved to any degree beyond dozens up dozens of other orgs and people who have snet over CV's and rec's for hire to the campaign.

It also is outrageous to say Zuckerberg is 'cultivating' Pete, especially as that smacks of the 'grooming' of Gabbard by the Russians verbiage that is current a dominate part of the news. In fact that bullshit is exactly what sewer rat trolls on twitter are trying to do now, tie Pete to Gabbard via inference, innuendo and whispers. TOTAL BULLSHIT

As for fundraising

GLASS HOUSES


(and it was your OP with a dodgy chop-quote pushed by the far left (The Young Turks, Sirota retweeters, etc and their ilk) that tried to smear Pete, before you were shown to be spinning that as well.)


FURTHERMORE (and the true glass houses part)

The ultimate irony is counting Warren's 10m in account transfers, only 48% of her total monies before Q3 were from small donors. 49% of Buttigieg's monies have come from small donors. 10m of Sanders' totals has come from transfers of preexisting funds, and when the transfers are added in, even he had only 60% of his total monies from small donors prior to Q3. Prior to Q3, Buttigieg had over 400,000 individual donors, and had well over half a million (580,000) individual donors by Q3. His average Q3 donation was 33 USD (per MSNBC today). For comparison, Sanders had an average donor contribution of 27 USD in Q3 (again per MSNBC today.) But hey!, lets all buy into a far left, TYT, JD, etc.-pushed shit-stir tweet using a chop-quote, that Pete is basically only fundraising from the rich, and shits on small donors, lolol.


https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/01/us/politics/Pete-Buttigieg-fundraising.html

Mr. Schmuhl’s memo said more than 580,000 individual donors had contributed to the Buttigieg campaign since it launched in January, placing him well above likely thresholds to compete in future presidential debates. It said the campaign had raised more than $51 million since the beginning of the race, with an average donation of about $40. The memo did not reveal how much cash Mr. Buttigieg had remaining at the end of the third quarter.

GLASS HOUSES Part 2

How Elizabeth Warren Raised Big Money Before She Denounced Big Money

Ms. Warren wooed wealthy donors for years, stockpiling money from fund-raisers, and has used $10.4 million from her 2018 Senate race to underwrite her 2020 bid.
