Elizabeth Warren Has Reached 50,000 Selfies [View all]

Do other DUers agree with the following take on the significance of all these selfies?

Here’s the idea: Lets say Warren actually gets to the point where she looks like the likely primary winner (or even later that she actually wins the nomination). Then think about those more than 50,000 selfies all stored on 50,000 plus cell phones all across the country and easy to post on social media. ( Actually, if she gets that far it will be multiples of that 50,000.) A huge number of the people who populate those selfies (and are big fans of Warren) will want to advertise the fact that they are in a selfie with the next president of the US (they hope). What will they do with those selfies? They will post them on Facebook, Twitter and other social media - and in doing so they will include comments indicating glowingly positive views about their candidate. Then their friends will retweet all of this.

Talk about powerful grass roots support! I think it will be tremendously valuable in getting out the vote for Elizabeth.

Anybody agree?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
