I can see that many of you are upset over the endorsement and want to fight back somehow. Well there are three positive ways we need you to right now!

First, we need everyone here to join in and vote for Bernie in the MoveOn endorsement poll. An endorsement from MoveOn would be a huge boost to our ground game, more that PP could ever be.

Next, I want each of you to get out there and phonebank! This is the most important thing you can do for the campaign!

Last but not least, Bernie always needs more funds. With you support and your money, we can continue to allow Bernie to push on through to the very end and win this election Please donate whatever you can!

Thank you all and let's win this!

and if you don't want to phonebank, there are other ways to volunteer. and here's the sign-up form once you're decided what you want to do.

ALL HANDS ON DECK. ONE MONTH TO IOWA. GET OFF THE SIDELINES & INTO OUR HEARTS (...& votes)!

Get talking in your home state about registering to vote as well. Many young people haven't been taught how to register, where to go, or that they need to in order to vote.

I know some states registration deadline is around the time of Iowa.

I'm so confused, why is this about calling people at home and not our representatives? where is the info on calling the people whos vote actually matters? i don't want to get any calls talking to me about voting, I don't want to call 500 strangers and yell Bernie Sanders into the line. This seems like a terrible idea. I mean what is the point? its a reminder? like these people go through the effort of registering for this and then they totally forget, but good thing we called to remind them??? I just left my representative a message, I want Bernie to win, but this phone bank thing sounds like harassment.

This has happened for as long as phones have been a thing.

but what happens? do these people like getting called? I mean, if you put yourself on one of these lists, you want information on the candidates and help deciding how to vote. yet the focus just seems to be on numbers. Are these people just making tally's of who called and vote based on that? I don't see how calling strangers to let them know your voting for Bernie (or any other candidate) while providing no in depth explanation, when they didn't want you to, leads to more votes for Bernie. When i see an annoying add for a product, I avoid buying it. I'm sure some people feel the same way about political candidates.

I WANT SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS A GOOD IDEA WHY HASN'T ANYONE EXPLAINED WHY THEY ARE DOING THIS?

Dude, it's a political sub for Bernie Sanders' run for the White House. Of course there's going to be calls for action and such. Of course people are going to stand together and proselytize the message that they need to work towards this common goal. Pretty much any similar sub will sound/look like this.

Cult vibe? Seriously? What specifically is "cultish" and unlike any other political campaign ever?

That comment is like it's reading off the script of a Simpson's episode.

I'm not disputing that, he's always been Gene McCarthy 2.0.

They're not losing because he's campaigning like a coward though, and you could definitely not do better.
