What Does a Bernie Supporter Look Like?

 






  This lovely rainbow appeared in the sky at the end of the meeting. 
We saw it as a good omen for Bernie's bid for the White House!

What Does a Bernie Supporter Look Like?
With great anticipation my husband and I awaited the Bernie meet-up for July 29, 2015, at Coffee Amici in downtown Findlay, Ohio. After all, we were finally going to meet other fans of the independent-minded senator from Vermont in the flesh. Would they be the "socialist devils with pitchforks" that many in the media kept describing? Would we be awash in denim and tie-dye and love beads and tree-huggers? Would we be surrounded by marching "Communists" with red stars tattooed on their chests? 

The short answer: No.



Bernie Sanders' supporters are ordinary folks that you'd meet on the street anywhere... You go to church with them, work with them, shop with them--your kids and grandkids may even attend school with them. Hey--you may even be one of them yourself and you don't even realize it yet.

Bernie brings out the best in people we discovered. They're enthusiastic and energetic. They come in all ages, sizes and colors, too. I know I was quite impressed with the large turn out of "Millennials" who now make up the largest proportion of the population. Face it, baby boomers--our day is over, and it's time we stop being so selfish and make our country a more caring and hospitable place for our kids and grandkids.

So, if you've been on the fence about coming out to the world as a Bernie Sanders for President supporter because you're afraid you won't fit it, don't worry. Everyone "fits" in Bernie's vision for America. It's a kinder, gentler and more just vision of America for all Americans. Join with your fellow dreamers of a better world and help create it today. 


Bernie speaks to a nationwide audience of 100K+ supporters via the Internet.

More information on how you can volunteer for the campaign can be found online at http://www.berniesanders.com 

And here are some photos from another Bernie meeting that took place in Perrysburg, Ohio. They look like "ordinary Americans", don't they? Imagine ordinary people excited about creating a better America for all... Bernie Sanders inspires folks to feel like they're a big part of the political process and not victims of the billionaires who blatantly purchase power in Congress. That's why they're turning out by the thousands to hear him speak and asking how they can help him become our next president.


Friends and neighbors gather to hear Bernie's message and learn more about helping out the campaign.

  1. July 29 was a great day for democracy! We had an enjoyable meeting and reaffirmed me in my belief that the one thing corporatists and backsliding politicians fear is an enthusiastic, informed and engaged electorate. #BernieSanders #Bernie2016 #FeeltheBern #TrustBernie!

  2. Yes, it was an inspirational day! 100K+ supporters came out on a Wednesday night to learn more about how to elect Bernie as our next president. They are energetic and eager to build a better America, one where the little guy (and his/her family) can live in peace, be paid a living wage, have access to health care, and have a chance of a college education without going into debt. Bernie Sanders is truly on ordinary Americans' side--and not in the pockets of big corporations and billionaires. That's why I say "Go Team Bernie!" #Bernie2016 #FeeltheBern #BernieSanders #TrustBernie

  4. Lovely post... can't wait to see Bernie taking the oath of office on January 20, 2017. Let's do all we can to help make that happen!

  5. I can't wait to see him sworn into office, too! What a happy day that will be--for ALL Americans. I think we need to impress this idea on our friends, family and neighbors that Bernie represents ALL Americans and not just the billionaires and SuperPACs. It's our time as "ordinary people" to fight against the injustices in our society. Vote Bernie! #bernie2016

  6. Awesome post! I support Bernie Sanders for many reasons, but most importantly, as a young person, the prospect of attending college is exciting, except when you and all of your friends are facing 6 figures of student loan debt. I am also a black female, and see the importance of having a diverse, yet completely ordinary group of people! #FeelTheBern

  7. Even the children like him. I know I do, and I'm from the cyber generation. The internet may be addictive, but the internet is why so many people know about many things, including Bernie Sanders today. In fact it's probably why I know about Bernie Sanders.

    1. I think you're right, Robinanna. Without the Internet, we'd hear very little about Bernie on mainstream media outlets such as CNN, NBC, CBS, etc., since their corporate owners don't want the voters to know more about him and his ideas. They're afraid of Bernie Sanders--and like you said, he's the most likeable person you'd ever meet! Of course, they're afraid that they'll have to follow the law and pay their fair share of taxes instead of hoarding their money and sending it offshore via shell companies... Yes, the Internet in 2016 has been vital since TV/Radio/Print media hasn't been doing its job well.
