DURHAM, New Hampshire - While Hillary Clinton held a serious rally in down state New Hampshire with two senators and a former President Monday night, Bernie Sanders supporters gathered at the University of New Hampshire to sit on the floor and sing songs on the last night before the New Hampshire primary.
Hundreds of students filled the university's Whittemore Center to hear a series of alternative rock bands such as Young the Giant, Matt Nathanson and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros open for Bernie Sanders. In between performances, organizers and minor celebrities such as Emily Ratajkowski praised the candidate and encouraged supporters to turn up at the polls tomorrow, reminding them that the university would run shuttles from campus to the polls.
But no band "felt the Bern" harder than Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Sharpe inserted Sanders' name into all of his songs and encouraged the crowd to sing along. After repeatedly professing his deep admiration for Sanders and explaining how "honored" he was to be here singing for Sanders, Sharpe jumped into the crowd.
"What good is a revolution if there isn't dancing?" he exclaimed.
By now the campaign rally hardly looked like a political event anymore. The singer danced with Bernie voters and then after a couple upbeat songs asked the young voters to sit on the ground with him. The entire arena sat on the ground, put their arms around each other and sang "Lean on Me" underneath the "Bernie 2016" banner.
By the time Sanders finally took the stage, two hours late due to the snow storm raging outside, the crowd was in full kumbaya mode, having spent hours dancing to live bands and talking about the ideals of democratic socialism.

Wait until these young people realize that they will be taxed into poverty if they ever get a job and eventually there will be no worker bees to support them.
If your worry were true, then all the old 1960 kids now in retirement age would be still by lefties. Turns out every generation grows and Romney took the baby boomers kids of the summer of love. The same will happen to the current generation.
The first hippie revolution took us down to hell with free sex and lead to pre-born genocide. The current administration and the coming downfall of the republic is a consequence of “evil wins when good men do nothing.” Too little, too late because DT is doing what is good for DT. Enjoy your stew, America.
Free Love, Free Drugs, Free Education - Feel the Bern.

There will be lots of dancing on the gibbets when the Revolution come.
Too bad Pete Seeger could not participate.
60s Hippies: drugs, sex, war protests
10’s Snowflakes: safe-zones, uber-sensitivity, free-stuff protests
Both are detestable, but there isn’t much of a comparison.
Hippy Jam-band! Woo-hoo!
Is that a quote from Che or Fidel?
