I heartily approve of this: “On Friday, the [Bernie] Sanders campaign announced that it has raised more than $1.5 million online in the 24 hours since he announced his candidacy.” Especially since he’s apparently threatening to raise a total of $50 million. Think of it! Fifty million dollars that could have gone to worthy – for a given value of ‘worthy’ – progressive candidates on the federal, state and local level. Instead, they’ll be poured down a money hole and never be seen again.
Ach, well, as the late, dearly missed Terry Pratchett once said: it keeps money in circulation, and that’s the important thing.

PS: Yeah, seriously, progressive activists. Give Bernie Sanders more money. That’ll show me. Ya, you betcha.
Commies feel the same way about those that financially support Cruz. I guess there are folks out there that want to back the person that aligns closest to their values, not the person that the media deems electable.
Difference being, getting money out of the Left can be like pulling teeth.
IIRC there was once a Dummie Funnie where a DU member complained that she had sold her bicycle to contribute the money to Howard Dean.
‘You sold your means of transportation to give the proceeds to a political campaign?’
‘Yes.’

For some people, politics, takes the place of religion; and I am certainly glad I know the difference between those two subjects.
that 50 mil will provide gainful employment for a LOT of useless eat- er, i mean progressive consultants. have you no heart? plus, it might be that Hillary! might be backing him some so as to suck some oxygen from Webb or Fauxcahontas….
