    lmao @ grassroots. that new yorker article casually mentioned that some exclusive fund raising event in NY of high net worth donors raised like 17 million in the 24 hours after the debate. there is jack shit grass roots about joe's fundraising model, but i'm sure they mingle those funds with like the 100 idiots that accidentally texted JOE30330 to send $7 and call it all "grass roots".

    even if i wanted his ancient ass to win, it's been clear a long time that the establishment has all the money it needs from the leisure class. which is why his campaign soliciting broke fucks for $10 is so insulting. i swear, they saw the bernie model as a cash cow and thought "yeah we can do that" not understanding why broke fucks all over the US were throwing $7/mo to sanders' primary.
