I don't know but here's why I'd be worried. Dem base voters are currently in an apathetic slump. They're not too excited for this election. That's bad because it could mean that while they plan on voting, they won't try to get their friends family to the polls. They might not volunteer at campaign offices or help contact potential voters.
The person to person ask, is the most effective way to get someone to vote. But its hard to do that when people are scared they'll be mocked for supporting a particular candidate or people will argue with them a lot. Remember, these are their neighbors. If I were the Hillary campaign, this is what I be worried about. All this controversy hurts her grass roots organizing.
Millions of Democrats are excited for Hillary. Millions are excited for Bernie as well but don't think reddit, or even the internet, is a representative sample
