Raskolnikov38 posted:im very confused on how/why the UC system is allowed to donate to politicians let alone anybody they aren't. the site is opensecrets and it records donations by the person's listed employer. that's why goldman sachs might be a top contributor to both mitt romney and barack obama - the employees themselves split on who they were donating to.

I looked at the issue page on his website, saw that the first item is a call to spend $1 trillion on infrastructure over five years and got an erection. Bernie Sanders all the way.

I think we've all been there, jobless with nothing but a constituency, a stack of legislation, a van, an American flag, and a goddamn dream. Or at least that was my initial impression. Since the campaign started, the guy has actually built his policy plan (look at the updates!), done some polling, set up his entire supply chain, and he appears to have his budget planned very well, albeit with the help of “The Communist Manifesto”. He's got a dream, man, and none of us and not even the devil himself is going to be able to stop him. Unlike a lot of crappy elections, I believe this is going to happen with or without our funding. This guy is Forrest Gump and his shrimping boat/presidential campaign might as well be built right next to the Field of Dreams. I don't mean to imply that he's an idiot, but that I admire his blind confidence and democratic faith. I come from Hipsterville where we vote ironically, as a joke, so that other people can look at us and say "Haha. That's hilarious. Let me take an Instagram of that. Imagine if you voted and actually liked it.” So this campaign touches me in ways both mystical and nostalgic. It makes me yearn for the days when I could eat bad food unironically and wear plaid because it's warm and because lumberjacks are cool, not because I'm trying to convey some dumb hidden message. Every time you donate to Bernie, you get to become a kid again for two minutes. The promises are hilarious, but I genuinely hate it when people get flak for "trying too hard." We badly need more people who try too hard. It's the most foolish insult to say, "I dislike you because I dislike effort." We are a generation of people who were told their entire lives by nurturing, caring, hippie parents they we are all geniuses. Every boy a wonderboy. Every child above average. But rare is a parent who doesn't care about test scores and IQs, but instead praises their kid only for trying and failing. Effort, man. Effort. That matters so much more than innate intelligence, than knowledge, than wit. You should try to do new things even when (hell, especially when) you think you will fail. This man is trying hard, with all his might, for an aspiration that isn't even lofty. It's humble man wanting for a reachable goal involving the most horrible job in the biggest city that isn’t in a state. Yeah, I'll be damned if I'm going to dislike a guy for trying too hard. It's apparent that he has turned to crowdfunding only because he has already put every spare dollar he owns into this election. I might not believe in the superior ideas of Bernie’s platform, but I want to believe in them. And I would eat one. Another thing is that this appears to be a very small country where the median household income is 20 grand and the most prominent restaurant is a Subway. A president, of all things, could affect real change there. It's a good story: The unfeeling internet hordes pulling together to fund a presidential campaign in Burlington, Vermont. That is something I want to be part of. “Bernie “Sanders is a name worthy of headlines. I want confused journalists to try to figure out what the gently caress happened, why it happened, and how they can possibly convey the idea of crowdfunding to their readers. It'll be like when CNN tries to explain memes. At the very least, this has the potential to make an entire country wonder about Something Awful. Someday, I would like to drive to The White House, eat a hotdog, and think of goons. To finally answer your question about our motivations, it's definitely the third option. We are good and bad meats processed together and extruded as 6 foot tall tubes, both cynical and kind, complicated and salty. Goons are actual hotdogs. I pledged $25 for both entertainment and charity. If this works and there's a hungry Alabama goon who wants my socialism, they can have it. Just please take pictures so it's like a child sponsorship charity, only for elections instead of impoverished children. If the Kickstarter fails, then I will have paid nothing and told a guy that I admire his efforts and his gumption.
