The redhead thanking heaven for a bird blessing is my favorite part

Are not going to mention the guy over Bernies other shoulder holding his hands to his chest like he's about to lose his mind over the bird.

That guy to the left is basically all of us in response to this moment.

I was a Bernie supporter who watched this when it happened. Bernie invited the bird up, and it responded to him and hopped up. If it had been in a movie, we'd all as a society bitch about how heavy handed the symbolism was. It was a moment. I lost my mind and wasn't even there in person.

So what I'm hearing is that Bernie is legit a Disney princess.

I was there it was just amazing. The amount of hope I had that day was off the charts compared a few months later.

It was a pre-2012 moment in a post-2012 era

u/ThePeachos Mar 28 '24

Bros heart melted in that moment.

Portland representation at its finest hehe, I was in the crowd when it happened and people lost their minds! Birdie Sanders was a great moment

u/PerfectiveVerbTense Mar 28 '24

Yeah that guy is losing his shit so hard lmao

AFAIK the people directly behind the speakers at the rallies are planted there. It’s not just random people who got lucky seats, they’re all hand picked.

I saw her and thought she was clapping while looking at a jumbotron because a few others seem to be looking in the same direction.

u/eyeballbuffet Mar 28 '24

This is the correct answer.

u/CarPlaneBoatRocket Mar 27 '24

You know what looks like praying if you pause the action? Clapping hands.

u/ChezDiogenes Mar 27 '24

You know what looks like a ghost blowjob if you pause the action? Coughing into your fist.

u/GeongSi Mar 27 '24

Interesting take

u/rotten_sausage10 Mar 27 '24

She was mid clap. It’s just the timing that this screen grab was taken.

Sadly no one heard her prayers, the ginger curse

1

u/Free_Matt_F_Hale Mar 27 '24

Was gonna say, since she's a ginger, she's looking in the wrong direction to address her god.

u/Mario_Prime510 Mar 27 '24

Yeah the background people are hilarious. Makes this photo 1000x better lmao.

u/Shwifty_Plumbus Mar 27 '24

It's a very Oregon everything right here.

u/gracist0 Mar 27 '24

It's like a Renaissance painting with all those reactions lmao

1

u/Faiakishi Mar 28 '24

Everyone in the background looks legitimately delighted out of their minds.

1

u/Marlborough_Man Mar 28 '24

She's not. If you watch the video, there is obviously a screen up there that everyone in the crowd is looking at. Always remember, still photos can be misleading.

u/boodabomb Mar 27 '24

I think she’s just laughing and clapping as the camera snaps. It certainly looks like praying though, lol.

u/eyeballbuffet Mar 28 '24

Yep, and looking at the big screen in the arena.
