i was invited to a rally of his in 2015, i went because i try to be open to things i don't like and the guys who invited me seemed to really care about it. first off, all of these guys were obscenely wealthy and genuinely said things like their mom "needed obamacare", and shit. i'm talking literal mansions. anyways we get to the rally and it was incredibly bizarre. bernie clearly cares and is serious about his economic goals, he's a true socialist thru and thru whether you like that or not, he has his convictions. but he also had to pay lip service to the social crap going on. watching the look of bothered confusion on his face when the crowd would erupt for 5 minutes after him saying "gay rights?" was very eye opening to me. and the fact that none of the other attendees caught it was also incredibly striking. he was open mouth frowning, at one point even seemed to almost moth "what the fuck". but the people were so caught up in the fervor of homosexuality that they genuinely didn't notice. it was so strange hearing the college kids there just slightly clap when he talked about student loans l, cost of living, and housing prices, all of which are still major issues today, and then just explode over a little catchphrase he seemed to have to throw out to keep their attention. i'm genuinely not lying about this. it's the only political rally i ever went to and it was one of the most surreal experiences ive ever had. i'll never forget it.
