    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

        Steyer went on TV this morning and described himself as a "grassroots activist" 😂😂😂

        Bear in mind that Steyer is on the verge of qualifying for not just one, but TWO debates. One more qualifying poll (a near-certainty at this point) and he will be on the debate stage in both September and October. Truly an inspiration to self-aggrandizing billionaires everywhere!

        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.

        It's hard to grasp any coherent rationale for a presidential candidacy that is based entirely on mobilizing support for an impeachment that will, of course, be a moot point if that candidate were to win the election for president.

        Tom Steyer was the top donor of 2016, donating more $$$ than anybody else. More than the Koch’s or Adelson or Soros. Barely anybody has even heard of him.

        I want the chart comparing average donation size and also average acquisition cost per donation across candidates. Can someone please make that? ;)

        It’s such a dumb system to tie entry into debates to number of donors. Don’t remember who suggested it, but a good strategy is throwing a Beyoncè concert and charging a $1 “donation” to the campaign.
