      Tom Steyer spent $2.9 million in 30 days on Facebook ads begging for $1 donations. As of Aug. 11, he is spending $140K per day. Remember when Dems blamed Facebook for subverting democracy? They turned around and devised a system that is enriching Facebook at preposterous levels

      I'm not sure it's accurate to conflate Steyer with Dems as a whole here.

      Other candidates have also spent large amounts on Facebook solely to solicit $1 donations (e.g., Gillibrand over $1 million in the past month) -- just not on the same scale as billionaire Steyer.

      The problem here is setting up debate rules that are easily gamed.

          ...which is exactly what the DNC did. Hence my tweet.

          In the meantime, @AndrewYang was among the very first to meet the donor requirements for both the first and second round of debates while only spending around $7,000/mo in social media advertising. We can’t just call out manipulators, if we don’t also praise the real grassroots.
