Mine Fervent Aspiring Political Activism

Mine fervent aspiring political activism... Gunning gusto, (while rosy axles grind) for Bernie Sanders dagnabbit nipped in figurative bud triggered zilch prospects to germinate, cultivate, and amalgamate late blooming spore port as schlocky, reedy, quirky, political neophyte, whose aura, charisma, dogma enigma, persona... absent gregarious masculinity. Scant hours after posting Facebook message Monday February 17, 2020 (regarding becoming linkedin among Bernie Sanders's supporters within Southeastern Montgomery Pennsylvania hinting genuine motive (mine of course) to join local grassroots bandwagon electing catapulting aforementioned Democratic candidate president, into Oval Office overwhelmingly elected Tuesday November 3, 2020 an unexpectedly pleasant forthcoming response (courtesy Jon Hall seven nine five eight at gmail) informed yours truly transcendently, telepathically inspired debate watch party would be (accompanied when in full swing) by most popular contra dance bands, and eminently choreographed counting topnotch cadres of policy wonks upstairs at Molly Maguire's Irish Restaurant (197 Bridge Street, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania)19460 slated for Wednesday March 19th, 2020 at 2000 hours military time.

Yours truly, (an aging, albeit eternally youthful long haired pencil necked geek) never experienced sought after fraternization think ennobling rite of northwest passage comprising electrifying informality getting plugged into self-described indomitable enthralling brouhaha starring none other than Democratic socialist and independent senator from Green Mountain state (by Samuel de Champlain in 1647) Bernie Sanders exuding vim and vinegar at age seventy eight heartily hailing (no kidney ying) who served in government since 1981. I showed up at designated place and specified time, and got politely informed courtesy young attractive hostess, no such arousing, inspiring, spine tingling... commingling of eager electorates slated, thus overzealousness (mine) bit the dust i.e. never got kickstarted.
