compared to our regular meeting and doubled our volunteer canvassers. Theyseem much more enthusiastic than the Obamabots in2008, which were themselves more enthusiastic than Obama supporters in 2012. Great millenials willing to listen to us old activists and learn.

no rule says that you can't meet up every other month, or every month if you want to. If it helps keep everyones energy up, it's all good.

I live in a small college town in a weird little state. People are really energized in my town, so we'll see what happens. I have a hard time doing large social things, as I have major social anxiety, so I'm not sure how much I'll contribute besides doing small gatherings. But it was fun and I love Bernie's message. I'm a university professor with a ton of debt from 13 years of state university education. I see my students falling into tons of debt as well, with poor paying job prospects. I know he cannot solve these problems along, but he is the best chance for a jumpstart to something great!
