‘Jesus was a socialist’: Bernie Sanders excites Previously Unmotivated Alabama Voters.

A rally for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) drew about 300 supporters in deeply conservative Alabama – including one woman who has never voted in 22 years of eligibility.

The event for the Vermont independent, who is running for president as a Democrat, happened Sunday at the Good People Brewing Company in Birmingham, reported AL.com.

One of the those supporters was 40-year-old Elizabeth Hewitt, of Blount County, who said she has never felt like her vote mattered because she never heard a candidate’s message that resonated with her until Sanders.

“I didn’t like either candidate,” she told the newspaper. “I didn’t care who won because I felt it didn’t matter.”

The video on there actually works...the first couple of minutes are bad sounding but eventually they get it going.
