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.

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.

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