7. I don't think Sanders will astroturf, anyway, as they all do, unless his handlers

put a figurative gun to his head.

[wyldwolf]

21. Sure you can.

More.. just search.

Not saying anyone affiliated with Sanders IS, but bots are an amazing thing...

Twitter? Much easier.

4. There is now an Act Blue $ DU for Bernie fundraising page

Bernies page use Act Blue too. Click the donate link and it goes to Act Blue. This just shows how much DUers have raised on their own.

https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/duforbernie

All of your donation except the transact cost from the credit card goes to Bernie. Tips to help maintane Act Blue are optional.

I had to raise the first goal already. That was in only 7 hours of being online late at night.

[Ichingcarpenter]

6. thanks steve n/t

[merrily]

8. Thanks. I just read he raised $1.5 million in 24 hours. Since his average donation was $40,

last time I heard him say that, raising $1.5 million in 24 hours is impressive. Still, it's a drop in the bucket.

[Omaha Steve]

9. DU for Bernie is just below that average

As of now 6 Donors raised $195 / 6 = $32.5

This is thr first time I've ever inserted code on the DU

We now have a live not just a static tote board.





or

[merrily]

12. Great, Omaha. I gave week before last on his website, but I'll use your ActBlue link in the future.

[marym625]

19. Yay you!

I put a link to your post with DU donations, as a reply, to one of the pinned posts.

[merrily]

47. Love your Bernie graphic, marym! I may steal.

[marym625]

48. yep!

Check this avatar post. Maybe you'll see something you like better

[merrily]

49. THANKS. I love the Bernie Group.

[marym625]

50. Me too!

Great people here. You included

[merrily]

53. Awwww. Thanks. You, too.

[Luminous Animal]

28. I just donated. Thanks for doing this!

[Enthusiast]

10. Sorry to be so dumb, but how does one subscribe to that Bernie group?

[merrily]

13. Are you subscribed at reddit? If not, start with that, here

https://www.google.com/search?q=reddit&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=reddit+sign+up+page

Then go to Sanders for President

http://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident and look for the subscribe button. I subscribed a couple of hours ago, so I can't see it anymore, but I think it was near the top left

[Enthusiast]

16. I was already subscribed at Reddit. I could never find a subscribe button anywhere. Still can't.

I'm going nuts. I know, short trip.

[merrily]

43. Go to the Sanders for President group

http://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/

Put your right hand at the top of your screen and start looking down from your right hand.

You will see a search bar first, I think. Then, you will see submit a new link. Then you will see a heading that says Sanders for President. Just below that is smaller bar you can click to subscribe or unsubscribe.

[Enthusiast]

55. I swear, that wasn't there before. Thank you, Merrily.

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. you first become a member of redditt then

you will chose your password and user name. Then you will be able to comment in a thread and also vote that you like that thread.or not.


when you see a sub group you like..... such as bernie, science, today I learned, funny, archaeology etc. you click ....... subscribe to this group and sign in .

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. this post also help you navigate not just the bernie forum but

left, right, news and politics.

45. Nice. Thanks, Ichingcarpenter.

11. the anti-authoritarian "crowd" vs. the authoritarian cadre

I was just thinking this morning that the Sanders candidacy could help change the often-ugly dynamics at DU. How often have we seen disdainful references to progressives as a "crowd"-- the Snowdenista, Greenwald fan club, emoprog, etc. crowd? This always annoyed me in the past, because the disdain seemed directed by what looked more like a "cadre" of authoritarians, coordinating attacks on specific members, threadstalking, alertswarming, two-minute hating, etc. Party disciplinarians vs. the "unfaithful," targeted with particular scornful terms.

But they have a point. We ARE a crowd, and they're something else. If these reddit numbers are any indication, the unorganized and diverse "crowd" is finding its voice in Bernie.

[ms liberty]

17. Really interesting point...

I think you're right...

[Ichingcarpenter]

20. Consciousness

Consciousness cannot be separated from function One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

[PatrickforO]

22. I read part of Matt Taibi's story on Bernie, and it is obvious he really cares

About the people. He's got my support, because I'm sick of voting for politicians who SAY they have my interest at heart but actually promote the interests of the 1%. I was disappointed in Obama because he took single payer off the table, and made the ACA, which is admittedly a step forward, but really is a giant corporate welfare program for insurance companies. We STILL have rationed healthcare, with our treatment dictated by the desire to keep costs down instead of what we actually need. And now this new 'free trade' agreement, the TPP. Why so secret? Why not publish it so the people can see it? Why? Because the only thing it strongly supports, in spite of the Administration's rhetoric to the contrary, is big multinational corporations. From what I've read (thanks WikiLeaks!), it allows corporations to challenge local environmental regulations in corporate-funded international tribunals. It also undermines organized labor, and is BAD for the American people.

[BrotherIvan]

42. I take from the poll on this site and the thread of people naming support for Sanders on the top

of the Greatest page last night to show that the "crowd" of progressives here is by far the largest. The scolders are far fewer but have the time apparently to go and derail as many threads as possible. Their new rallying cry is that Sanders' supporters are "too mean" which is the very definition of irony.

I, and many others here, were accused of being "purists" and that we would "never find a candidate that was good enough." Well, isn't that funny, WE DID.

[TransitJohn]

18. I think that's an okay proxy to judge

interest in various candidates by the relatively young. Reddit skews younger, just as DU skews older (Joni Mitchell threads, lol).

[PatrickforO]

23. You really think so? I"m 56, so I wonder...

Seems like I talk to lots of aging baby boomers on here.

[TransitJohn]

24. Oh totally!

I'm 43, and this place is like Lawrence Welk and Hee Haw sometimes.

[PatrickforO]

25. Lawrence Welk and Hee Haw?

LOL. It was our parents who watched Lawrence Welk and I never liked Hee Haw much.

[TransitJohn]

26. Exactly. This place skews old

Just sayin'.

[Enthusiast]

30. We still party! And have sex!

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[Ichingcarpenter]

27. i'm more of a Mitch Miller type guy

Look at those radical folk songs from the 60s

[PatrickforO]

41. I remember my parents watching Sing Along With Mitch Miller when I was maybe 5ish.

I remember they'd put the words on the screen and have a little ball skip along each syllable.

[abelenkpe]

29. Agree nt

[merrily]

46. Many older hippies are far from conservative.

[TransitJohn]

52. No doubt

Where is that coming from?

[Ichingcarpenter]

32. Barack Obama is a redditt member as is all of these and more

In order to do a AMA they must register as a member and be given a handle on reddit........ and they are verified as real....

Your Logic is a FAIL.





Now do you know which logical fallacy you broke?

[Ichingcarpenter]

34. You need to support your candidate on reddit ......... nobody is there.

and it shows.

[Ichingcarpenter]

36. That's why Hillary campaign astro turfs facebook and twitter

well all righty then.

[smokey nj]

39. They seem to be in our group as well, but that's just an "accident."

[Ichingcarpenter]

40. Well when I was on the tarmac doging sniper fire

I forgot I was there with Brian Williams.

it happens sometimes....... but at least o'really was there to record it all.

[smokey nj]

44. ....

[L0oniX]

58. Bwahahahahah

[smokey nj]

37. You are in a group for supporters of Bernie Sanders, please leave.

[NYC Liberal]

38. Yes I just posted that I didn't realize.

I am self-deleting now and I apologize.

Have a great rest of your day.

56. It's up to nearly 30,000 readers now.

And it looks like he's going to take some Paul supporters. Meaning he can get crossover votes.

Reddit is going to work for him pretty seriously.

He can do this.

I haven't seen momentum like this for a long time.

Thanks for the link, going to keep track of Reddit. They have millions of members airc.

[cui bono]

59. Wheee!!!
