Just an FYI to those who alerted on and hid my thread yesterday

Niko House is not just another random guy on the internet; he's the president of Carolina Students for Bernie Sanders and apparently not a total unknown.

Guest Post: No Ordinary Man: A Profile on Niko House
Niko House meets Bernie Sanders.

During this summer, Niko went on to form Carolina Students for Bernie Sanders from scratch. It is an organization of University of North Carolina students who support Bernie Sanders’s presidential candidacy. Niko was contacted by Nate Rifkin, a field organizer for the official campaign, to start the organization because of the lack of political infrastructure in the U.S. South in support of Bernie Sanders.

The organization grew rapidly and became efficiently organized in a short span of time. There are currently between 200 and 250 active members and six committees in the organization. The Sanders campaign itself has said that Carolina Students for Bernie Sanders is one of the most organized pro-Bernie Sanders clubs in the entire country. Niko tells me that the organization is “putting a foundation in place that’s build around educating the community about local politics as well as national politics, giving a scope on some the policies that are passed and how they really affect people versus how the politicians will spin them.” (more at link)
