Apparently the plebeians supporting the candidates of their choice with small dollar donations represent a major problem for American society. At least, that’s what a condescending New York Times columnist argued.
Thomas Edsall, who has an apparent obsession with telling the world how much he despises former President Donald Trump, also revealed a particular distaste for the grassroots Americans who helped propel his ascendance to the White House.
“Small Donors Are a Big Problem,” read Edsall’s grossly elitist Aug. 30 headline. “Increasing the share of campaign pledges from modest donors has long been a goal of campaign-finance reformers, but it turns out that small donors hold far more ideologically extreme views than those of the average voter.”
The “better example” of “the appeal of extremist campaigns to small donors” amongst “extremist campaigns” for Edsall, of course, was Trump.

What a POS.
He obviously has much money - and BELIEVE YOU ME - those rich bastards don’t donate much unless it buys them what they want, like a seat at the table.
He wants us poors to donate until we bleed. I hope he chokes on his own vomit.
Demoralization campaign.
Political opponents are a big problem that require a final solution.
HA.
There are too many (What did Ron DeSantis call us?) to overcome their dwindling PAC dollars.
What he’s really bitching about are contributions to a legal defense fund for one noted candidate.
Of course. He is of the leisure class. Working people are just icky.
Jonah is just pissed over the size of his “manhood” as is probably this limo lib
Used to be “one man , one vote, “ was something liberals would pretended distinguished them from conservatives.
Well, it would all be so much easier on them if we had Ayatollahs to chose both candidates and then let us peons pick.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! That’s mighty cis-gendered, fella!
One man/woman/tranny/furry/plushy, one vote! Well, ok, if you’re anything but a straight man or woman, then you can vote as many times as you like.
He’s been execrable for many years. I see absurd things from him from time to time.
I bet he’s opposed to the big donors too, hoping eventually to have government financing of campaigns so that only loyal Deep Staters will be able to run. Step out of the corrupt line and you’ll be found to have broken some microscopic rule and get nothing.
