FWIW, here is the link for the Bernie Sanders forum in Reddit -

https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident

Looks like a pretty great setup. More elaborate than I would have guessed.
My grandson is a huge fan, he is 20, I think Reddit skews towards his age group.
Oh, and yay!

I did not bother to see if there are Reddits for any other candidates, because quite frankly I don't care.

eta - Okay, I checked and there is a subreddit for Hillary. It has 301 readers. Bernie has 53,363 readers.

I wouldn't have even thought to check. But, I am glad you did. Just a quick anecdote here. I was at the Pride Festival all weekend canvassing for Bernie (I didn't do a very good job, but that's a whole other story ADD or something something) any who. Our side of the Stonewall Bridge booth (one of those canopy thingies rather than a real bridge and booth) had about 15 volunteers through out the day clip boarding to get volunteers for the campaign. I am quite certain we got 2000 more volunteers over the weekend. Martin O'Malley had one volunteer that was there all day on Saturday and another that was there for part of the day. Hillary had no one on Saturday. On Sunday there was 2 of us for most of the day, I didn't get there until after noon cuz parade. Then later on there 3-8 at any given time. O'Malley had about 4 people coming and going. Hillary had one person who was there most the day and another that relieved that person to go get something to eat. We were somewhat friendly with O'Malley's team. We avoided Hillary's person who kept coming into "our territory" we promptly stepped up and covered our territory a bit better and "team" Hillary went back to his side.

I admit I was expecting just a bunch of comments, but this looks really really usefully organized and elaborate. They also raise money for Bernie.
I believe "readers" means people who subscribe to this subreddit.
They have subreddits for each state, too.

I have been participating. There are some sockpuppets to contend with. Just as with DU, Bernie could use your good words and enthusiasm.
