A Christian, A Muslim and A Jew Go Canvassing For Bernie Sanders

X-post from GD-P: Great piece on Huffpost:

We meet outside my apartment at seven in the morning on a freezing cold Saturday. We're Facebook friends, but total strangers; three idealistic pilgrims on a quest to the faraway land of Iowa, that frigid empty wasteland that will decide our nation's next president.

As soon as we're on the highway, a sense of excitement permeates the car. We don't know each other, but we already know we have the most important thing in common: a passion for social and political change, a desire to be a part of what Bernie calls a political revolution.

There are some beautiful musings on the spiritual meaning of the Sanders campaign, beautifully summed up in the last 2 paragraphs:

That vision of love and hope is older than, and will continue after, Bernie Sanders. But what Senator Sanders has done is give a voice to the politically disenfranchised and disenchanted all across America. Idealistic? Sure. Improbable? Maybe. But every great thing humanity has ever done was at one point improbable. Out in those cold Iowa streets, doors slamming in our faces, new friends at our sides, we felt anything was possible. That's because anything is possible.

A Christian, a Muslim, and a Jew go canvassing for Bernie Sanders. It's not a joke. It's a political and spiritual revolution.
