Not sure where you got that from, but a quick check of actual contributions shows it's not accurate.  
 
Just sayin'...

 
You're right! I low balled the number. It was really $27 per person, not $25

Never mind.  I wasn't debating the $25 number but the statement that Bernie received more contributions than any other candidate.  Heck, he wasn't even #2.

It's a great point and I'm not trying to be political, but it did him (and us) no good; the man who won didn't even get the popular vote.
 
Where one goes with that (in context with the current issue of Sonar being gone), I have no idea....

That's because this is the United States where you can't rig elections by jamming the popular vote.  This is why we have this concept called the Electoral College instead.
 
That said, the winner just may have been a mistake making him the first candidate in many elections that wasn't already owned by the Elite (the two that were supposed to run for the office were Hillary and Jeb Bush).  Of course, if either of them had won, we might already be in FEMA camps by now...
 
All of the current stock of politicians should be rounded up and sent on a rocketship to the sun as far as I'm concerned.  I'm constantly shocked and saddened how many voters out there don't realize that both of the so-called main parties are two sides of the same coin...

Right. Now they simply rig the electoral college vote instead: a much more stream-lined process, for sure. 

 
As far as your last comment is concerned, truer words have been rarely written (and segues neatly into previous comment on government as commodity).
