BernieCrats Commit to Supporting Candidates who Already Feel the Bern!

BernieCrats Commit to Supporting Candidates who Already Feel the Bern, provide growing list of Sanders supporting politicians

The grassroots political movement has begun, just as Sanders called for, and like all grassroots campaigns, networking has been paramount to its current growth. “Bernie Democrats” are being recognized online in databases, on websites, and with the help of social media accounts for the purpose of making sure that political figures who endorse Sen. Sanders for the Democratic nomination end up in the seats they are striving for.

One database on a webpage entitled “Bernie for Everyone” that appears on David Thomas Engineering explains that these politicians “are either currently serving, serving and up for re-election, or a candidate seeking election.” The compilation of Sanders’ supporters includes individuals running at the federal, state and local levels of government.

The data compiled comes from a continuously updated database that, according to David Thomas Engineering, is maintained by Expats for Sanders. The database of candidates supporting Bernie Sanders also includes a listing of each politicians’ important election dates and specific notes recognizing the Sanders-supporting politicians’ significant individual contribution to the political revolution or the new Progressive movement.

For example, Tim Canova in Florida is running against Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the head of the DNC who has been at the center of significant controversy this election season as Sanders’ supporters have accused her of showing favoritism to Sanders’ competitor for the Democratic nomination. The database also notes Tulsi Gabbard’s major contribution to Sanders’ growing momentum. Gabbard resigned from her position as second-highest leader within the DNC so that she could promote Bernie Sanders’ campaign. The former vice-chair of the DNC currently represents Hawai’i in the U.S. House of Representatives.

A database is also maintained on the website of The Berniecrats Network that lists politicians that have said they endorse Bernie Sanders or support Bernie Sanders’ political revolution. On that database, individuals who have been added within the last week are highlighted in green. Bernie Sanders’ supporters are using this color-coding as a tool to quickly spot newcomers, thank them on social media, support their campaigns, and often even donate to their fundraising efforts. This database includes memes, video endorsements, websites and links to the individuals’ Twitter accounts.

For example, the following video is featured on The Berniecrats Network from U.S. Representative candidate Jesse T. Smith, who hopes to represent the 3rd district in Alabama:
