Bernie Sanders Campaign Gives Pamphlet To Young Supporters To Ruin The Holidays

Every holiday season Democrats find new ways to teach their supporters how to antagonize and browbeat their families into seeing things their way.

This year the winner of the ruin your family’s holiday contest is Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, one of the top tier candidates for the Democrat presidential nomination.

Sanders connects more with young voters because they are still naïve enough to believe in his fairytales of having the government take care of all of your needs while keeping your freedom.

But with older voters who do not need any of what he is offering the 78-year-old socialist has a tougher time.

That is why this year he is giving his young supporters “family persuasion guides” so they too are able to annoy their family during the holidays.

“It’s up to us as students and young people to make the moral appeal to our older relatives to join us in voting for Bernie, because let’s face it: they won’t be around for as long to deal with the consequences of this election, but we will be,” the “Students for Bernie: Family Persuasion Guide” says.

The campaign sent the pamphlet to its young supporters before Thanksgiving and it is sending a new one before Christmas, The Wall Street Journal reported.

You may remember a similar tactic used by the administration of former President Obama, but at least it had the decency to have it on a website.

Not Sanders. He wants to be certain to have it in the hands of his young and impressionable supporters.

The campaign is focusing on having its young supporters accost their family in the early voting states of Iowa, South Carolina and New Hampshire.

“Mr. Sanders’s campaign manager Faiz Shakir said in an interview that the campaign has made more of an effort to focus on seniors in the past three months and hopes to peel off some voters who have been supporting other candidates,” The Journal said.

“Urging young supporters to talk to older relatives about Mr. Sanders is an unconventional strategy. The campaign is also taking some more traditional steps,” it said.

“Aides to Mr. Sanders also say the $8 million they have put into TV advertisements in the states that have early primaries will help them reach seniors because they are placing the ads during shows that are popular with older audiences,” The Journal said.

“Mr. Sanders’s campaign is airing most spots during the local news and network morning shows, according to data from political-ad tracker Kantar/CMAG.

“It is also buying time during the sitcom ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ daytime talk programs ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ and ‘Dr. Phil’ and the game show “Family Feud,” it said.

If you have a young Sanders supporter in your family invest in a good pair of earplugs before you sit at the holiday table.

Because no one wants a helping of socialist propaganda with the pumpkin pie.
