Why Reddit for Bernie counts

[cali]

There are 188,000 members. Reddit for hillary has 4,100.

They don't just talk. They have:

Raised over $1.5 million

Made 67,700 phone calls

Canvassed extensively in Iowa, NH, Nevada and SC.

Created all kinds of apps and tools, from how to caucus for Sanders to sites with exhaustive information about his record.

Supported Bernie candidates running for office, coast to coast.

Kept it civil. Far more civil than DU or daily kos.

Sneered at and dismissed by Hillary fans, it has become a potent tool for Sanders campaign

1. Those Reddit kids are amazing!

Any time the primary season negativity here gets a little much, I pop on over to the Sanders For President subreddit for a healthy shot of "Yes We Can!!"

3. I peruse there every once in a while...

and I should more often.

They are a very organized and enthusiastic group. Love the energy!

New National Poll: Sanders blows out every potential Republican opponent, Hillary loses to everyone but Trump.

"American voters back Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont over Republican candidates by margins of 4 to 10 percentage points in head to head presidential matchups, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today. The closest Republican contender is Ohio Gov. John Kasich who trails Sanders 45 – 41 percent. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton trails or ties leading Republicans in the November face-off, the independent Quinnipiac University Poll finds. "

21. Bzzzt. The campaign and act blue have confirmed the amount raised.

I don't blame you for wishing desperately that this isn't true. Too bad for Hill that it is.
