Go check out Reddit

They're on fire and already organizing. Read through the comments and you will see how Bernie's message resonates with everyone from young people voting for the first time, progressives, libertarians, moderate Republicans, and people who are just fed up with the corrupt system. It's very inspiring! The post on his announcement has 3100 comments.

Very very smart move. Reddit was what helped stop SOPA and arguably brought us net neutrality (Obama personally thanked Reddit for their efforts). There's a massive force there to channel.

Would like to check it out. And yes it is smart. I'm glad they're on it. Reddit community really wants to work. So much for the "youth won't vote for him" angle.

I've gone over and volunteered to help there too. That's not my thing to be a joiner, but to me this one is important. I hope more DUers do the same because they are a big group and are talking about fundraising, etc. It's frankly a breath of fresh air from the constant bickering and scolding here. I was on my way out the door before Bernie announced (not that anyone would notice). If it turns into a cage match during the primaries, I'll probably hop over there.
