Hundreds of Bernie Sanders' supporters marched through London to vote for him
I love this. It shows what so many around the world are hoping for too! As someone in the comment section said, these ex pats have been living in Europe and experiencing/enjoying the universal health care/4 weeks of vacation a year/and other "socialist" benefits of Europe and want the same for us.
Hundreds of Bernie Sanders' supporters marched through London to vote for him

Crowds of Bernie Sanders-supporting US expats rallied in London's Parliament Square on Tuesday evening before making their way to the city's Democrats Abroad polling station.
Members of London For Bernie, an organisation set up to unite Democrats living in the UK backing Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign, congregated in the centre of London's political district carrying banners and signs with messages of support for Hillary Clinton's closest rival.

Anya, originally from New Jersey, said:
Bernie resonates so much abroad because of his domestic policies and certainly his foreign policy — he really wants to put the US back in its place where it should be. He speaks the truth and his message is strong and clear. He isn't shaded by the pressure of Super PACs and big corporations.
Derek, originally from California, studies with Anya. He said Sanders has his vote because he is a politician with principles:
What struck me at first was [Sanders'] consistency. It's very common in politics for people to adjust their opinions along with what's popular or what will get them elected. I've watched old clips of Sanders and the things he was saying then are the things he is saying now.
He added: "If we had heeded what he had said about finance reform and the Iraq war then the nation would be in a much better position now."
