Briahna Joy Gray, national press secretary for Independent Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, says that a new poll shows young voters “want daddy Bernie.”

On Monday morning, Gray tweeted out the results of a new Harvard Institute of Politics poll of young voters, along with the message that “The youths have spoken. They want daddy Bernie.”

According to the poll Gray cited, Sanders is polling at 31 percent among likely young Democratic presidential primary voters between the ages of 18 and 29, outpacing his next competitor, former Vice President Joe Biden, by eleven points. Beto O’Rourke was in third with ten percent, with no other candidate garnering more than five percent in the poll.


If only 'Daddy Bernie' can get young people to actually vote it might be meaningful.

1. Daddy?

Try great "grand dad.'

[genxlib]

2. Two things

One; they may not stay supporters if you talk down to them like that.

Two; he had an entire election cycle to introduce himself. He is ahead of many of the others on name recognition alone. Give it time to see how they feel about some of the other candidates once they develop a higher profile (true of all age brackets.)

25. "Vote for Daddy Bernie, bitch" is a quote from Cardi B

It’s true that when Cardi came to fame she wasn’t known for her political activism. The press tended to focus on her idiosyncratic speaking style and start as an exotic dancer.

But she has also been outspoken on a number of political issues. She has a clear stance on gun control, in favour of mental evaluations for gun purchasers. She thinks the minimum age to own a gun should be raised above 21.

She supported Bernie Sanders in the presidential primaries – “Vote for Daddy Bernie, bitch” were her exact words – and has spoken about the ways “America is a scam”, saying: “If there’s a Republican president the only people who benefit are the ‘rich rich’, corporation owners.” Bernie returned the favour last year, tweeting: “Cardi B is right.”

[LongtimeAZDem]

[Thekaspervote]

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

13. What's wrong with free healthcare?! Healthcare is a human right... so, yeah, it SHOULD be free!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Join the revolution!!!

[democratisphere]

14. Nothing is free. Somebody has to pay for it!

Specially when it comes to the outrageous cost of American healthcare.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

15. I'm sure the rich in this country can afford a tax increase with all the tax breaks they've enjoyed

over the past few decades. My heart bleeds for them!!


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Join the revolution!!!

[Snotcicles]

19. Take some of my tax dollars away from our military that is five time the size it needs to be. nt

[herding cats]

5. Just a thought...

They may want to rethink their messaging strategy? That seems a bit creepy and off putting. Also, it overshadows the positives in the polling which should be the focus.

9. Lol

[namahage]

17. So using a misogynistic term is cool

with the Bernie crowd?

So much so that the press secretary retweets it?

[sheshe2]

21. I stopped calling my father daddy when I was six.

I also don't care for the word B***h.

[peggysue2]

12. Daddy Bernie?

And that's considered a positive? Can you imagine what the Republicans would do with a statement like that??

O.M.G.

Plus, I would suggest this young woman put on her glasses. More like Gramps Bernie.

BTW, I'm imagining anyone citing HRC as Mommy Hillary and thinking that was a really good idea.

Yikes!

[MrsCoffee]

[redstateblues]

26. gross

[Cha]

27. Yeah, she would say that.. here she is dissing John Lewis..

[NurseJackie]

32. That was disgusting, wasn't it?

She is filled with hate. Why would anyone hire her? It reveals much about the ethics of anyone who would.

[Cha]

34. Yeah, what was the political

motivation for hiring a 3rd party stein voter who smears and gaslights John Lewis?!!

[NurseJackie]

37. What kind of voter would be attracted to that?

Oh... Never mind. It just hit me. Got it.

[highplainsdem]

35. What a horribe person she is.

[George II]

43. Speaking of daddy, momma always told me...

... if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

[Cha]

47. I've been slipping

on that lately.. thanks for the timely reminder.

[George II]

45. She tried to justify "daddy Bernie" on twitter, it's not going well.

[Cha]

48. LOL! I just went there..

Thanks! I love some tweeters

I'd post them here.. but better not.

[Dream Girl]

28. Gross.

[NurseJackie]

[Me.]

33. So She Has A Daddy Issue?

[MustLoveBeagles]

36. Ew

[Cha]

38. That's just pathetic

[George II]

41. What are Briahna Joy Gray's prior political credentials?

[George II]

42. The 18-29 year old age group is the lowest of all...

... with respect to voter turnout, by more than 10% - roughly 50% to more than 60% for each of the others. The 65+ group has the highest turnout.

[brooklynite]

44. You mean voting on Reddit isn't sufficient?

[George II]

53. like this?

[betsuni]

46. This is asking for trouble.

[ehrnst]

49. The tweet has been scrubbed. It was getting flamed and mocked mercilessly on twitter. (nt)

[Bleacher Creature]

51. Hold on for a second.

[still_one]

52. Gray voted for Jill Stein in 2016, and encouraged others to do likewise throught the Intercept.

As far as I am concerned it is a disgrace that she has been hired by a campaign for a person running in the Democratic primary

[lark]

54. My skin literally crawled when I read this.

OMG, how demeaning to every young person that likes him! Hope they see this and realize who they are supporting.

[ehrnst]

56. "the youths"

All I can think of is this:
