THREAD: Bernie’s newest FEC violations have given us the look we need inside his fundraising
I’ve warned you all previously that his claim of “grassroots, working class” donors & $27 donations is smoke in mirrors
Seems we’re choking on that smoke once again in 2020...

Let’s 1st start with WHAT happened in 2016. Thanks to an unprecedented amount of violations we got a peek into his info
An odd pattern appeared. Ppl were exceeding the legal contribution limit but breaking that huge sum into countless minuscule donations

Now let’s answer WHY Bernie supporters broke their 2016 donations into repeated, teensy wincy gifts
They used math to create a myth
They intentionally crafted the narrative that Bernie had overwhelming support of struggling everyday Americans...

Now on to the good stuff!
This new FEC complaint includes flagged donations from 2019. And what do we see?
THE SAME FK’N BULLSH*T
Though this time we also have receipts proving Bernie & his surrogates were instructing supporters to help skew his stats

Though this time we also have receipts proving Bernie & his surrogates were instructing supporters to help skew his stats
So let’s take a look inside this 2019 FEC complaint for the proof supporters were helping skew his numbers
(Name obscured but info is publicly available)
Here we see 1 supporter making 835 DONATIONS in 3 months 😳
From 3/22/19 - 6/25/19
That’s close to 1000 $3 donations FFS

This 1 donor took up 20 pages of the FECs report
I can’t post all 20 pages so here are the 1st & last. In the upper right hand corner you‘ll see the page number
This donor practically made it a job to donate, giving up to...
15 TIMES IN 1 DAY
You don’t do that without reason

So why would Bernie supporters go thru the bother of donating nearly 300x a month? 10x a day $3 at a time?
Cause Bernie asked them to
So I don’t want to hear 1 more fk’n mention of how many small donations this geezer has gotten
It’s all a pack of lies

Some may wonder why I’m so worked up over this?
Because it’s INTENTIONAL MANIPULATION
And for whatever damn reason, the media are allowing Bernie to craft this bogus mythology
They did it in 2016 & they’re doing in again in 2019

For anyone wanting sources, this tweet includes a link to Bernie’s 2016 FEC violations
Here Dave Levinthal shares the link to the newly released 2019 FEC report which outlines Bernie’s violations for prohibited or impermissible donations
Below is a screenshot from one of Bernie’s fundraising emails instructing supporters to make “lots and lots of small-dollar donations”
This is just 1 of many fundraising emails encouraging this very specific pattern of giving from donors
Proof this is planned strategy

April 2 2019, Jose captures evidence of Bernie supporters taking part in & promoting the strategy of multiple small dollar donations
He signaled to his supporters & they heeded the call
Including the donor who gave 835 times! Note the day hers began

That tweet didn’t work as intended so here’s a direct look at Jose’s receipts
And last but NOT least, perhaps the most damning evidence..
Nemesis captures Bernie staff instructing supporters to make multiple small dollar donations to skew data
