Sanders supporters suffer through stages of grief

[fun n serious]

On pro-Sanders message boards on Reddit — an online community where impassioned discussions of Sanders’ campaign vastly outweigh any talk about Clinton — expressions of surrender began bubbling up after the New York loss.
“It's the reality of the situation, the chance to win the nomination has passed,” wrote one user, who posts under the username “Sieziggy” in a pro-Sanders forum. “It's time to shift the energy of his campaign and groups like this subreddit to local and state government, which will have a lasting, meaningful impact.”
Another glum Sanders supporter weighed in: “Sorry to be a bummer, but no matter how I [s]quint my eyes and look the numbers, I'm not seeing a viable campaign, and will be applying my efforts elsewhere,” the Reddit user wrote, under the username “AvatusKingsman.”
“ColtonCM,” another Sanders supporter, wrote that New York was a reality check. “Man,” the user wrote, “it really isn’t looking good for us.”

1. No Sanders supporter I know is giving up

Sounds like someone created some fake accounts.

Every Sanders supporter that I know is ready for a contested convention.

We're disappointed in the NY loss, but we're moving forward.

Hillary PAC Spends $1 Million to ‘Correct’ Commenters on Reddit and Facebook

Citing “lessons learned from online engagement with ‘Bernie Bros,’” a pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC is pledging to spend $1 million to “push back against” users on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram.


Correct the Record’s “Barrier Breakers” project boasts in a press release that it has already “addressed more than 5,000 people that have personally attacked Hillary Clinton on Twitter.” The PAC released this on Thursday.


The PAC was created in May of last year when it was spun off from the American Bridge SuperPAC, which is run by longtime Hillary and Bill Clinton supporter David Brock. Brock also founded the left-wing media watchdog website Media Matters for America.


“This explains why my inbox turned to cancer on Tuesday,” wrote user OKarizee. “Been a member of reddit for almost 4 years and never experienced anything like it. In fact, in all my years on the internet I’ve never experienced anything like it.”
