Well, that's my point, that's passively. It's not like he's not getting reported on, of course, but kinda like the bare minimum. I found this speech after the Indiana win very interesting for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fHjiYU6RQw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fHjiYU6RQw
I don't mean charismatic as in super suave, but as in, a stand up normal person, not someone first and foremost in it for the power. I guess charisma is subjective. And he isn't trying to be anything he's not. He's not trying to be folksy, he's just himself. That's what I see and what I like. Sure he has to play politics, but he doesn't put on a mask on top of that.
- yolesaber 11y agoI met Bernie Sanders personally and I can wholeheartedly say the man is incredibly charismatic. Sure, I'm a Sanders supporter and knew of him before meeting, but he is a very friendly and approachable fellow who travels with a very light security detail and encourages you to speak your mind with him. I think part of his charm is that he feels like the cool hippie grandpa everyone wish they had. He has a great handshake, too.
