Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Is this really a surprise from Bernie's national campaign? Back in 2016, weren't there reports that Bernie supporters were deploying young women to drum up support for Bernie ... by flirting on tinder:

As the race to become the Democratic presidential candidate heats up in the United States, the left-leaning Bernie Sanders has become a surprising star on social media, with young voters using mobile phone apps to push others to #feelthebern.
As Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders clashed in their first one-on-one debate it was the senator from Vermont who started to trend worldwide.
So what are Bernie's supporters doing differently to bolster his support amongst younger voters? One place where he is a surprising hit is the dating app Tinder.
Kevin Smit from Alkmaar in the Netherlands has used Tinder to spread the Bernie gospel. "I'm not a heterosexual male and I too believe he's sexy" he joked to BBC News.

A Group of Genius Women Are Using Tinder to Campaign for Bernie Sanders
Oh, Tinder. That terrible, cesspool of garbage that passes itself off as a dating app can be a pretty frustrating place. And that's my opinion as a guy. If you've ever had a single conversation with a woman who has used Tinder, you know it's even worse for them.
But, according to a report from Joseph Bernstein at BuzzFeed one group of women has decided to turn that cesspool into something a little better and a little more important. They've begun using the app as a way to get more people to support the Senator from Vermont.
Men are the worst. (Seriously guys, stop being so fucking creepy.) Anyway, it's wonderful that these women have finally found a good reason for Tinder to exist. They're helping people feel the Bern, and that's way better than any other burning sensation that you can get on Tinder.
