If we predicted success by Reddit popularity, Ron Paul would be in the 7th year of his presidency.
In 2008, reddit as we know it today did not exist. In July 2012, reddit got 40 million unique visitors. In April 2015, it had 169 million unique visitors.
These are the demographic survey results for the Bernie Sanders subreddit. I doubt the makeup of 2012 Ron Paul supporters was that different.
The problem for Bernie is that young middle-class (white) men only get you so far in a primary.
We young middle-class white men are very offended by your stereotyping.
Indeed. This young middle-class white man is voting for the neoliberal neoconservative corporatist plutocratic warmongering hawkish polarizing calculating old racist shedevil George W. Bush rubberstamp bitch with cankles over the cantankerous old socialist from Vermont.
