I didn't think anything could be weirder than the time Bernie Sanders' people pretended to be union members to try and recruit supporters, but this is much, much weirder.
Two women, who’d sent pro–Bernie Sanders messages to hundreds of men between them, told Reuters they’d had their accounts deactivated. Robyn Gedrich, 23, said she sent this campaign message to 60 men a day for two weeks: "'Do you feel the bern?' her message to other Tinder users read, parroting a Sanders campaign slogan, 'Please text WORK to 82623 for me. Thanks.'"
Sending that text message signs you up for Sanders’s campaign updates. Tinder shut Gedrich down on Thursday.
So Socialism turns you into a human spambot. Except more self-righteous. Cosmo calls them Bernie Broads. New York Magazine, Bernie Babes. The counterparts to the Bernie Bros.
Haley Lent, who is 22 and married, also wasn’t on Tinder seeking love and hookups. She told Reuters she contacted 50 to 100 people on the app, trying to convince people to vote for Sanders in their states’ primaries.
I'm sure that annoying people is a great strategy to convince them to vote for Bernie Sanders.
These guys are disgusting. They’re just looking for sex and that’s it,” she told BuzzFeed News. “So if they’re going to swipe right, they might as well do some good and donate to the man, the myth, the legend, Bernie.”
The Tinder campaign is going about as well as you would expect it to.
