Serious side-eye to anyone who does this shit.
The fact that I became aware of this practice when Avenatti did it says everything
edit: people on era defended him for it too
Avenatti didn't tell anyone tho. Beto's done several donation emails without asking for a cut (like for flooding damage and for finding immigrants lawyers, etc.), but I bet as soon as he folds and does something like this, someone will do a layup and send an e-mail asking for nothing.

Yeah
He's also expanded the messaging in his email list, which is exclusively for people interested in his campaign.
If they had a problem with it, they would have told him. This is you making a standard and then chastising him for not keeping up with it. He's never been dishonest about where the funds would go or be split.
I'm not the only one who has posted about it. I'm entitled to my own opinion whether or not it was endorsed but Omar and the others.
For what it's worth, the tweet was "Liked" by Ilhan Omar.
You can think that Bernie is unilaterally exploiting the Squad, but evidence really isn't there.
I finished my first volunteer shift today for Warren. It was fun and I will do more. I wish I started sooner.
I would like to encourage you all, no matter who you support on the democratic side (except for Marianne), to volunteer and put in time and not just donate.
edit: This isn't a game.
I also want to add, and I shy away from being too personal, that I was the network engineer for my company who literally setup the VPN tunnel on our ASA's to Bain Capital, and watched over time as they 'guided' us to take on more debt and spending, and ultimate dismantled us. It's kinda personal.

You are definitely right that it's distasteful. But in the end they are all still politicians.
She'll be this town's rep for the next fifty years if she wants it.
There's literally nothing wrong with it. Especially if you can choose how much to give to each candidate. It's solidarity and it's great!

Like really. He's asking his own supporters to give money to her. That's pretty neat.
Also while I'm at IT, I did a contract after for the state legislature in a "non partisan" IT office literally in the capitol building. It was very partisan, and all day staff berated Democratic Legislature members. Comments everyday. And the most lazy IT department I had ever seen, berated welfare queens I was literally dumbfounded.
I outperformed everyone in my office, completing more projects in less time and got my contract canceled, I believe, cause they found my facebook account which had me and my husbands photo from our wedding, and I have no legal recourse.

What type of volunteer work did you do?
That really has to chafe the knickers off of the GOP.
Text banking. Getting my feet wet. I was surprised at all the positive responses.
Dumb.
But even McCarthy knows that the background is Steny's place.
People are just assuming that they have a problem with it. It's hard to imagine any member of the squad is upset that presidential candidates are opening up their donor base to them.
Oh my god, if Virginia GOP can't get a candidate on there, they lose a really easy and suddenly critical delegate seat to the Dems. All because Nick's team screwed up the paperwork

Back then, it was Neo-Nazis, Klansmen, and Vanilla Isis not him in the streets.
Here, it's no one but him, and he did it of his own volition.
Bonus in that he's a narcissist, that its NEVER his fault, ESPECIALLY when it's his fault and this was a tactically and morally incredibly bad fault.
One of the Hawaii senators. Pick one.
I think he got confused and conflated the Dems and our economy and his influence on the GOP's share of California's delegation to the House.
HEYOOOOOOOOO
They're basically giving up the majority then. Under the new maps every incumbent Democrat is pretty much safe and there was another vulnerable district where the GOP Rep retired. That alone gets Democrats to 51.
Then it's just a matter of flipping one seat in the Senate to tie it, and another for the majority outright.
Yeah I don't really see the problem and I imagine at least he cleared it with AOC and Ilhan. If you want to make a donation only to those four, or only one of them, or only Bernie that's completely up to you.
Maybe trying to solidify that Biden VP slot.

It's this hire that'll really upset the Bernies: "Also Thursday, the campaign announced the hiring of Jess O'Connell, former CEO of the Democratic National Committee, to become a senior advisor."
Oh shit
I can read David Sirota and Briahna Joy Gray's tweets now.

A Vice President at Goldman Sachs is not an executive. I was a low level manager there at roughly the same time and that was my title too. Basically anyone who manages people is at least a VP.
Yeah I was going to say the same, though I was there more recently. Sounds like she was just a middleman. The google stuff is more notable.
