These People Are the Secret to Bernie Sanders’s Success
(snip)
How did Sanders pull ahead? His supporters in New Hampshire were happy to talk about what motivated them. But the more I heard, the more I realized that the Sanders campaign really was different—and not just because it had less money. As anyone who has ever watched The War Room can tell you, maintaining message discipline is crucial to a winning campaign. (Remember “It’s the economy, stupidâ€?) Which in turn means a tight, top-down command structure to keep everyone “on message.â€
The Sanders campaign is nothing like that. Look below the waterline and instead of a single streamlined operation, you find twin hulls. One is a professionally run, locally focused effort where the candidate’s position on the Northern Pass (a controversial plan to build a high-voltage power line through the state) is as important as his views on immigration and taxes. The other is a parallel structure, a volunteer-based reservoir of energy, talent, and enthusiasm that propelled a senator from a tiny state into a national figure. I’ve come to think of this operation as the Sanders second shift.

In an age when social media have been credited—or blamed—for everything from the Arab Spring to the decline of Western civilization, it’s important to be clear: Facebook “likes†won’t get anyone elected. But social media’s low entry costs have allowed what, at least at this point, remains a decentralized, volunteer-driven guerrilla campaign to challenge the Clinton machine. “You need a lot of people doing stuff for free,†says King, whose earliest political memory is of “when my mom took me to Washington to protest against the Iraq War.â€
Daniela Perdomo. (Jane Hu)
Until she found her way to the Sanders subreddit. “Suddenly, I heard conversations no one in my office was talking about,†she says. But when she tried to research Sanders’s record, “all I found were dismissive news stories. So I decided to build a website optimized for search and social media.†Before she knew it, Perdomo had 125 volunteers, and in 32 days had made FeeltheBern.org. “This is support you cannot buy. It can only be free,†Perdomo says. Since its launch on August 12, the website has garnered over 2 million views.

Seems he's upset there's nary a picture of a black person supporting Sanders.

Diminish the legacy of Dr. King? Please tell me.
Hmm... That subject my start the longest thread in DU history.

I can't even include the word "black" in the parodies of his name. He is just as whiny as all the idiot white Proglodytes at DU.
They have created a colorblind society of regression and weakness.

I have no idea what it's like to wake up in the morning and go hunting for a reason to be offended, nor do I have any desire to do so.
It must suck to be a DUmmie.

Same here... but not surprisingly, DU is like a forum for professional victims.

Claiming victimhood is a De facto part of the DNC platform.

The black PoP on DU are not there to have any reasonable discussion about anything, but rather to poke white folks in the eye for everything. It's sport to them.

What's really funny is when they try to out-victim each other. "It's tough being black" "It's tougher being black and gay" "You think that's bad, try being black, gay and female" "That's nothing, try being black, gay and female with a transgender identity crisis".
I should have been a psychiatrist. I'd make a fortune off those idiots.

IN fundamentally transformed America, whiny victim is a status symbol for the stupid. The one and only response is to mock them.
