“The front page of the internet” helps Bernie Sanders towards becoming the front-runner for the Democratic nomination.

“Reddit — I am running for President of the United States, and seeking the Democratic nomination. I need you to stand with me and organize an unprecedented grass-roots campaign. Are you in? -B”

On January 26th, 2016 the Reddit Sanders supporters donated a total of $1,000,000 to the Bernie... In mostly small increments, in true Bernie fashion. This is, to our knowledge, the most ever raise on this platform for an individual person or group. in 2005, the site raised $200,000 for Hurricane Katrina relief.

According to Pew Research, about 6% of adult internet users frequent Reddit… making it one of the hottest spots on the interwebs… but can they keep up with the Hillary political machine? We will see.
