That just put up a website on Bernie and the issues

Update: Thanks for the answers to my question. I finally got to the page that said it's not affiliated with the Sanders campaign.

1. Merck again.

Damn it!

[Autumn]

2. Maybe they went light on his civil rights history because it seems to be really pissing

off some people when it's mentioned.

[Skwmom]

5. The only people it pisses off is the people who want to create a problem with

Bernie and the Black Community.

[sabrina 1]

10. And they're doing the opposite, more AAs have come out in support of Bernie

and more are learning about him and wondering, wtf since this phase of the smear campaign began.

Bernie has a way of turning lemons into lemonade when it comes to political operatives spreading their paid-for talking points. He's been doing it all his life.

He is in fact, a master at this because he has the very best tools to fight it, his record and the truth.

[Maedhros]

12. I asked my son-in-law what he thought about the "white liberal supremacists" meme

being pushed by certain disingenuous elements of the political landscape.

He was appalled.

[Skwmom]

14. I agree. Sometimes, people overplay their hand.

[MADem]

15. They didn't "go light" though. It's a positive resource and it is full of information.

This OP appears to be designed to drive traffic to the site to "check"--whereupon they will be pleasantly surprised. People are commenting before first checking, apparently.

It's a very ubeat and laudatory website, written, researched and designed by 125 redditers in the Bernie Sanders reddit group, with a great deal of detail. It is also well laid out and easy to search.

But hey, DIRE/Victim!/PTB is the new methodology of exhortation, I guess. It wears thin.

[Skwmom]

18. My intent to to raise the question of who is behind this site in case things aren't as they seem. nt

[MADem]

24. I found it through Google in about ten seconds. nt

[DanTex]

3. It's a conspiracy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MADem]

4. Are you trying to get people to click on the links and check, because the site is probably

part of Sanders' campaign. It covers his record VERY thoroughly and POSITIVELY, and provides links throughout.

http://feelthebern.org/category/bernie-sanders-on-civil-rights/

People don't really like that kind of "concern" stuff when it turns out to be an inaccurate representation. They feel a bit hoodwinked.

Doesn't leave a good taste, that tactic.

Oh, look what GOOGLE dragged in.....!!!!!

https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/3gpyxt/introducing_feelthebernorg_a_brandnew_site_that/

Our group of over 125 volunteers, culled from reddit and beyond, has been working intensely for a month to produce — in record time, and while balancing our regular jobs and lives — a search-friendly, sharing-optimized, rich-media website that clearly lays out in a sourced, fact-based way exactly what Bernie has done, said, and proposed on every single issue Americans care about. Whether that's something as vast as the environment or criminal justice, or as specific as agricultural labor or what Bernie said/did about Kosovo, this website seeks to demystify the jargon that makes policy discussion so inaccessible to the vast majority of Americans. And like, Bernie's campaign, the website does not attack any other candidates — this is just about him (or, as he likes to say, about you/us/the issues).
Think of FeelTheBern.org as the Wikipedia of Bernie Sanders, only more beautifully-designed and more thoughtfully-written, leveraging the viral power of videos and infographics, and written in an entirely FAQ-like conversational format. If knowledge is power, this site could be hugely empowering to many voters — especially given so many Americans still don't even know who Bernie is (!).

[Skwmom]

8. So this is supposed to convince me that everything is on the up and up.

Really.

[MADem]

13. Yes. REALLY. It is. It's from a group of BS supporters on Reddit.

The website is chock-a-block full of positive, glowing information about the candidate.

The dire "oh no, is this baaad?" question can be answered by simply READING the site, and clicking on the myriad of blue links offered in the clear, upbeat text.

So, yeah--hoodwinked. And BTW, you can edit a post rather than responding twice to the same comment--use the edit button in the bottom right corner of your comment. HTH.

6. Chelsea Clinton.

21. Don't you think you should delete the phone number. But thanks for the info

[PowerToThePeople]

22. It is public information

readily available through a public database. Took me all of 2 seconds to get it.

[hedda_foil]

23. He's legit. Here's his Facebook page.

https://m.facebook.com/davidINwarshow?_rdr

[Skwmom]

32. He might very well be legit. But does a facebook page prove it? No.

[think]

34. 125 Volunteers built the site. You can contact the group from the contact link on the site to give

input and suggestions on what material to add.

This is a long thread at Reddit.com for the Bernie Sander for President group about the effort:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/3gpyxt/introducing_feelthebernorg_a_brandnew_site_that/

If you click through on the issues and links you'll see they've put a lot of work into covering Bernie on the issues.

There are some spots that could be improved and that's why they are asking people to contact them to improve upon it.

[zappaman]

17. Hillary is behind it again!

She's "scared shitless" about Sanders!!!!

[greatauntoftriplets]

19. You mean it's not OJ Simpson?

[zappaman]

20. Colonel Mustard in the parlor with a rope?

[MADem]

25. Oh that George Soros! What WILL he do next?

because, in these contentious times, one can't depend on the sophistication of juries....

[MuseRider]

28. I checked it out and thought it was delightful actually.

I looked at it some more after we both posted on the original thread about this. People who are not usually into the political stuff would find this an easy and pleasant way to navigate what Bernie stands for. If they want more in depth they can always click onto his website.

I understand the paranoia about these things but I honestly do not see, so far, anything wrong with it. Most people who are just beginning to care would love it and that seems like a good thing to me.

One more way to reach people, he is doing very well reaching people without lots of press or money.

[Raine1967]

29. here is the person behind the website:

https://www.facebook.com/davidINwarshow

he states he registered it himself.

It looks pretty benign.

[giftedgirl77]

30. Obama, duh....

There that should cover everyone for you.

[SonderWoman]

31. GEORGE SOROS!

[DemocraticWing]

33. It's Trump

He cherishes Bernie Sanders, even made him a website. He thinks he'll win the Bernie Sanders vote.

[Stardust]

35. It's a beautiful testament to the admiration his supporters feel for him. eom
