The City of Ithaca’s zip code, 14850, ranks eighth on the list of United States zip codes giving most generously to Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (D-Vt.) presidential campaign, according to a USA Today report based on Federal Election Commission data through Jan. 31.
This generosity is largely due to grassroots efforts, Ithaca’s liberal nature and unprecedented enthusiasm from residents, according to local activists....
Members of the Ithaca and Tompkins County for Bernie Sanders Campaign, as well as the Ithaca branch of the Democratic Socialists of America for Bernie Sanders Campaign, said levels of local activism were partially responsible for Ithaca’s large number of donations.
“Through the summer and into the early fall, we concentrated on voter registration literature, informing people they would have [to] be registered in the Democratic party of be a part of the primary process,” said Theresa Alt, a member of the Ithaca Branch of the DSA for Bernie Sanders.
Alt added that high levels of activism among Sanders voters encourages people to donate.

Cornell University. Not surprising.
How is “eighth” construed as “top”?
I think they mean “a top donor,” but that was the headline as written and I wasn’t going to edit it.
Ithaca college as well.
They’re open Communists and proud of it.
Refrigerators across America have kids’ drawings and photos on the doors. Refrigerators in Ithaca have those cool-looking Che Guevera magnets on them. Because that murderer was a real cool commie cat!
But the mayor of Ithaca is a big Hillary supporter, and he’s taking a lot of sh*t for it from the locals who otherwise revere him.
Are the Ithacans so dumb that they believe they can ONLY register as a democrat?
For Freepers to better understand left wing Ithaca, they need to go to your home page.

I am shocked!!! Shocked I say!!!
My reaction exactly. Hell, I know a bunch of the folks downtown who are contributing to him.
Interesting, though, that I haven't seen a tremendous number of Bernie bumper stickers yet. A few, and in increasing numbers, but Hillary had a lot of long-standing support around here, and Ithaca liberals change their mind very slowly, especially the Vagina Voters. But even they are starting to crumble a little around the edges.
...the Ithaca branch of the Democratic Socialists of America for Bernie Sanders Campaign...In 1916, Woodrow Wilson feared for his reelection chances because of NY state socialists. Good thing to post to any idiots you know who vomit up (share on Facebook) that "Moderates for Bernie Sanders" garbage. THERE ARE NO MODERATES FOR BERNIE -- all supporters of Bernie have kids heading as they hope to college, and they want everyone else to pay for it. **** that -- your kids are morons too.
Last time I was in Ithaca
Their were pro-Palestinian supporters on street corners holding the Palestinian flag and people were honking in support
Its a Muslim terrorist mecca
I see a fair number of Bernie yard signs when I have the misfortune of having to visit Ithaca, including a couple of 3 x 6 foot ones on Rt 79 near the welfare housing where all the shootings/stabbings occur.
14850 zip code is not just the “city” of Ithaca.
I don’t live in the city, I live in the Town of Enfield, and my zip is 14850. GO TRUMP!
At first glance I would agree with you, but after considering it, the headline is not inaccurate.
Report: Ithaca Zip Code Is Top Donor to Bernie Sanders Campaign
It doesn’t say “the” top donor. Granted it doesn’t say “a” top donor either, but it doesn’t have to. How it is stated is ambiguous, maybe deliberately so, but it’s not “wrong”. Since it doesn’t specifically say, you get to interpret it any way you want to.
Top Donors:
1. 05401 Burlington, VT
2. 94110 San Francisco, CA
3. 10025 New York, NY
4. 94114 San Francisco, CA
5. 98103 Seattle, WA
6. 10023 New York, NY
7. 10011 New York, NY
8. 14850 Ithaca, NY
9. 02138 Cambridge, MA
10.10024 New York, NY
