$10, $25, $50 Or $100 For Biden

I'm not even sure how i got on the Bernie Sanders email list considering i'm 3,000 miles away in another country and not even eligible to vote in the US Elections, but as he got me a new lightbulb for outside my garage i didn't mind getting his regular emails asking for a $2.70 contribution to his war chest which i ignored.
It appears that the Bernie Team have passed on my details to the Biden team because now i am not only getting emails from Biden's lot but also from Kamala Harris and they are not asking for $2.70, their big red contribution button starts at $10 but they have conveniently also given buttons for $25, $50 and $100.
The NPR website keeps count of how much cash each campaign committee have on hand and it shows that Biden has $180,626,411 against Trumps $121,096,473 (minus $750 for his tax bill this year) but judging by the 2016 election, they still have a bit of spending to do as the Center for Responsive Politics put Hillary Clinton's campaign spend at $768.5m and Donald Trump's at $440m.
The Biden campaign emails currently languishing in my recylce bin states that they need my support to help America get the best leader possible but Jacinda Ardern has just been voted back into office in New Zealand so you can't have her so you will have to make do with one of the septuagenarian's currently creaking their way around the nation.
We have a Boris Johnson going spare and he is a right wing fruitcake who has been next to useless in the Coronavirus pandemic, is vastly overweight, caught Coronavirus due to his own stupidity and seems to have no idea what he is doing so it would just be like having Donald Trump again.
Let us know and we will bubble wrap him and let you have him by Wednesday but meanwhile Mr Biden and Mrs Harris, i think i will keep my $10 (£7.74) in my purse because you wouldn't want to be asking a foreigner from overseas to contribute to your campaign would you.
