Description

The gymnasium shook as his name echoed in delight off the walls,'BER-NIE, BER-NIE, BER-NIE...'I was weeping with full-bodied joy, while slam-jump celebrating like a pogo stick on speed.A few days before, in small town New Hampshire,'F*cking communists!

Get the f*ck off my lawn.'People kept asking,'You went over there, didn't you?

It's a long way to go.''Yeah.''How do you feel about Bernie being out?''There's a Korean word, 'han', which means both heartbroken and hopeful.'A fish-out-of-water political odyssey as an Aussie hit the campaign trail for Bernie in the lead-up to the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primary in 2020.

Entertaining and uplifting adventures as Greg met progressive superstars - Nina Turner, Cornel West, Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore, Cynthia Nixon, Tim Robbins and an Adam Driver doppelganger (photos within).His most prized target was to get a selfie with big, bad Bernie himself, and maybe even shake the great man's wrinkly hand...Hanging out with inspiring volunteers, attending momentous Sanders' rallies, and meeting the wonderful folks of America's heartland - while also running into a few nutters along the way.

Short rants about trying to avoid climate catastrophe and stop capitalism from eating itself also included.

The duopolitical war machine, corporate-friendly media, and moneyed interests set on totally destroying the social contract also cop a blasting.Greg recounts his boots-on-the-ground involvement in progressive activism with a vision of bringing about a kinder, safer, and healthier planet for all.
