Bernie's campaign and Bernie as a person are so positive to me and seeing that little bird up there? Well, she was just a little ray of positivity. If I had been there, I would have cried too.

Huma - I like that name

It's comforting.
Our generation fought for so much, I used to wonder if the millennials will stand up and fight - afterall they have been labeled the Me generation. Now I know they will continue the fight. Bernie did that. He tapped into their passion.

6. So much sweetness and light surrounding the bird moment

I just love it. And it reminds me about what this campaign is really about.

It's so nice to be able to discuss it (and gush over it) with sensitive, kind and wonderful people who just "get" stuff like this.

I love Bernie Sanders and I love his supporters too.

I hope that we do. I hope that we can overcome. I hope AZ has outraged enough people to fix future problems BEFORE they arise.
