Well I got 2/3

 

They also said they are doing a live drawing on July 18 for which candidates are on what night do that’s pretty cool

 

Mayor Pete? More like Mayor Ca-ching Ca-ching!

 

Bernie had nearly 1 million donors and no one else had more than 400,000. That’s wild

 

^^^ I think Bernie actually has almost 1Mil donations, not individual donors. Still impressive, esp. because we know his fundraising numbers will likely be sustainable.

 

Where are you seeing this?

Warren's 19 million with an average donation of 28 should mean she had ~650,000 donors.

 

So who is outside of the top 5 but will remain in the race? Booker, Klo, Castro, and Kirsten are definitely sticking around through Iowa, right?

Ryan, Gabbard, Yang, Williamson, Bennett, Hickenlooper, Inslee, and the other people i'm forgetting exist are just trying to get some free hot meals for a couple months.

I could see O'Rourke getting so embarrassed that he drops early to go back and run in Texas. Hell, same thing could happen to Biden - if he drops into 3rd or 4th place, I could see him deciding he's not into it.

 

Elizabeth Warren's campaign says it raised $19.1 million in Q2

This article says she had 384,000 donors. So maybe the rest are from people who donated more than once?

 

Bernie didn't even release the number of individual donors he got. You're trying to compare donations with donors...

 

Yang will stick around. Gabbard and Beto probably will too I thonk

 

Yeah I just realized that. When the articles says donors and aren’t specifying whether that’s individual donors or total donations it’s a bit confusing

 

“I underwent weeks of excruciating follicle implant treatments so I could have a dense thicket of chest hair just like Austin Powers, and I’ve been walking around with my swollen, surgically reassembled face, yelling ‘Do I make you horny, baby’ at women in a thick British accent, but for whatever reason, I can’t get any of the sluts to fuck me,” lamented IntrntnlManOfMystry in his message board post. “I mean, I took out a second mortgage on my home and cashed out my 401k so I could buy a new wardrobe of flamboyant vintage suits like Austin’s and lease a Jaguar convertible with the Union Jack on the hood like Austin’s, but the women just aren’t biting. Where’s my Foxy Cleopatra? Where’s my Ivana Humpalot? It just doesn’t make any sense.”

 

Only tangentally related, but reminded me that a local pub closed in my town a while ago and there were plans to turn it into a rehab facility. However the local residents absolutely freaked out at the thought of having addicts in the neighbourhood, so the premises have now been turned into a new pub. Because bars famously only attract people with a healthy relationship to intoxicants.

 

beto raised less than hickenlooper?! lol drop out dude.

 

HICKENLOOPER HAS STARTED THE INCANTATION

 

I don't think this is a complete ranking. Just a ranking of those who have released their numbers.

 

"Adams told police rap music makes him feel "unsafe" because he had been attacked by people who listen to rap music in the past, the records state. He also said people who listen to rap music are a threat to him and the community.

The suspect said he felt threatened by the music — not the teen himself — so he needed to be "proactive rather than reactive," police records said."

Deadly Peoria stabbing suspect, just released from prison, says he was threatened by teen’s rap music

 

This is only the candidates that released their numbers so far. Though since Beto hasn’t done that yet it probably isn’t a good sign for him lol

 

Some real dystopian shit right here.

"We should all appreciate eating flavorless mush for every meal. I'm so glad I don't have to make any choices about what I eat anymore."

 

I'm still gonna be shitposting on Chorus while at work at age 72.
