There are only amateurs at the head of Bernie Sanders’s unofficial online army: A furniture designer, a 15-year-old high school sophomore, a tech-startup founder, and a structural engineer. In short, it’s amateur hour, but it’s a particularly successful group of amateurs. They’re responsible for Reddit’s /r/SandersForPresident, a subreddit that (as of 1:02 p.m. EDT Monday) has 115,634 members subscribed.They’re not officially a part of the campaign, and they’re not costing the candidate a dime. Instead, they are a grassroots, loosely coordinated online effort to help push Sanders’s progressive candidacy. The question now is whether the masses can mobilize themselves into effective support.
