Email from the Sanders campaign seconds after the debate ended:

Two questions - did Faiz watch the same debate that we watched, or alternately is this a subtle concession?

I hope every single American sitting in their homes tonight watched that debate. Every. Single. Last. Person.

Because this debate made clear a fundamental truth many of us have always known.

And that is on issue after issue — from health care and its impact on this coronavirus crisis, to Social Security, free college, abortion access, LGBTQ rights, climate change and more — Bernie Sanders is and has always been on the right side of history. Joe Biden has not.

The American people will never have to worry if a President Bernie Sanders will stand with them — because he always has.

But if we want to elect Bernie Sanders — a president who will change the power structure in America, taking it from the few who have too much and deliver it to those who need it — it’s going to take all of us chipping in. Especially tonight. So what do you say?

Can you make a $2.70 contribution to our campaign TONIGHT as a way of saying we need Bernie Sanders and his agenda in the White House?

$2.70 might not seem like election-winning money, but right now thousands and thousands of people are adding their $2.70 – just hoping you’ll do the same next.

Thanks for doing it.

They need to lay off the campaign donations, people are stretched, worried about the next few months, $2.70 right now is a lot to ask for.
