Bernie Sanders' campaign unveils ‘BERN’ app to increase grassroots voter database, says the new tool will be a major advantage in the crowded Democratic primary field.

CHICAGO — Sen. Bernie Sanders flaunted his ground operation Saturday with what he called the “largest distributed day of action ever in a presidential campaign” and announced a new online organizing tool called BERN.

Sanders began the race with a strong field operation, largely thanks to his 2016 run and a supporter list that only grew in the subsequent years. The organizing kickoff highlighted what the Sanders campaign considers a significant priority and a major advantage in the crowded Democratic primary field.

At each campaign rally, volunteers digitally and meticulously collect the email address and phone number of every attendee. The Sanders campaign said around 30 percent of rally attendees are new to the campaign data lists. Wilson’s first foray into politics was making calls for a young, little-known bartender named Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, who was running a primary campaign in his home state of New York.

The crAPP also unveiled Voter ID numbers to the world while asking your friends to add you to their marketing database without your permission...

If anyone puts my name in this database I will find your Bro ass.

So Bernie’s response to countless calls to stop condoning the bullying and belligerence of his base is to...double and triple down on encouraging it? Got it.

The BERN app is just a classic example of why I don’t feel the Bern. It is literally an app designed to have supporters report on other people. It asks someone to feed Bernie my full name. City. State. And zip code. WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! Hell no!

Cool. Now how about a story about how my minor child’s info ended up in the database because his friend thought it would be funny? And there is not way to opt MY MINOR KID OUT. If you have a teen, you know this was 1000% predictable. Quit gushing and actually report.

My name better not be in there unless he wants a lawsuit.

OversightDems HouseDemocrats SenateDems Seems like this should probably be looked into don't you think? This is a really good example of something I would like to see stopped, immediately.

What's the link to this tool? Must see for myself.

Giving his supporters new creepy ways to harass people. What could possibly go wrong?

It is a data mining tool with no explicit way for individuals to opt out of their personal information being collected or displayed online. It has a Big Brother feel to it. The ethics of this are questionable and demonstrate once again how Bernie does not think things through.

Make no mistake about what this tool really is... a tool to harass women.

Allows for faster, more zealous cyber attacks by the cult

Just what we need, an app to aid this LOSER. Wake up Bernie followers and join a candidate that's good for America. It's not too late to bring Hillary back. If that doesn't work, GO WITH JOE.

🤡

No to Bernie, isn’t this the 3rd or 4th time he’s tried to run for President. He’s no democrat

Sorry, Bernie, I only vote for Democrats.

Weak and pathetic

Dems: Hello Bernie! It’s Bernie everyone! Our man! ... Hold on, Bernie, here’s Beto! Our bruh! ... Hello Pete! Goodbye Beto. Our out guy! ... Joe’s announced! At last! So long, Bernie, Beto, Pete, Liz, Kamala, Amy et al., Joe’s been our true love all along! ... we think 🤔 ...

SocialismSucks

A pointless app in the very crowed app field, that’s the solution!

Code for :: garnering foreign donations. I trust the DNC And MSM is against “foreign interference in US elections”, so we need oversight to follow the money.

Pass

It’s a trap!

This evil guy is actually trying to win. If SenSanders becomes the nominee, be prepared for Trump for 4 more years. And we will have deserved it, because fools keep thinking Bernie can win. He cannot .

Shud be bern4th lake house

Did not Trump Campaign Manager introduce this idea earlier this year🤔

Bernie can't win

Bernie is a Russian active measure, only here to divide Democrats. Dammit stop promoting him!

Never Bernie

Nerds and pansies unite!

When did Bernie become a Democrat?

NeverBernie

Boston Bombers should be able to vote... F”n wacko

I'd be concerned about the permissions you give it. Contacts, photos, microphone, texts, email, audio. Even if it were an app from one of my favorite candidates - I wouldn't do it. I'll go as far to say anyone who installs this on their phone is a fool.

Using technology.. but the country need brains.. &.. it’s hacktime!!

It's not going to convince ppl to support him. Nothing his campaign does can convince me.

And then when he loses he will give it to trump or Jill Stein

Hmmm, that sounds like a smart idea and keeping with the times. It also sounds a bit Orwellian to me so I’m going to pass on the BERN app.

What? I thought he didn't like competitive advantage? Shouldn't he give the same app to all the DNC candidates? That would be the socialist thing to do.

Bye Bernie. Can’t wait until I never have to here about you again.

😂

Bernie cannot win the South. Everyone, please move on.

A database on citizens controlled by a socialist, what could go wrong?

Where's the trained bird?

Ah nope. Biden 2020

He cannot actually think this app is going help his chances!

lol

It also helps with secret police investigations and pogroms once the commissars are installed.

Unless it gets hacked...

Maybe Paul MANAFORT is voting for him

Test marketing for the App.was done in Federal Prisons..

does it have mini games?

He’s not a Dem though, but nice of him to want to help.

BERNIE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT

Dylan Roof is voting for Bernie.

Bernie Sanders Isn’t Fighting The Wars Of 2016, His Campaign Says — The Democratic Establishment IsBernie Sanders' campaign is comfortable portraying itself as under attack. And the candidate's advisers think fighting back is how they win in 2020. “Democratic establishment” is a code phrase. Remember how often Steve Bannon used the words “Republican establishment” in 2015-2016? Very similar thread. The Democratic establishment that allowed him to run as a Democrat despite not contributing a thing to the party his whole life? That's why trump/klan's CRIMES and CORRUPTION CONTINUES AND IS WINNING.
