2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie supporters -- a general observation
There were a few posts showing pictures of Bernie's supporters in Salt Lake City. Those pictures are always an inspiration.
But this time it struck me WHY they are such an inspiration. Look at the look in the peoples' faces. They are full of love, joy and inspiration. That is the effect he is having on people

(17,320 posts)A certain percentage of citizens will perceive the "inspiration" in the same manner as you and I did.
Deriving a genuine sense of enlightenment, which isn't very common in American politics.
To many others, the pictures will just be more pictures but without any personal feelings other than to wonder why so many young people continue to swarm to his speeches and pay rapt attention while he is speaking.
Those who are "inspired" will vote for Sanders otherwise they will either vote for someone else or not at all.
Your post was an outstanding piece of thinking (IMO). Thanks. Post many more times.
