The first Disney princess candidate, bless

Compare with Trump, who was attacked by a bald eagle.

THE BIRDS KNOW WHO SHOULD BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT

Birds will only approach something/someone/someplace where they feel safe and not threatened - loud and extreme noises paired with magnetic fields of any unnatural kind (such as the crowds and equipment common at a political rally) tend to cause birds to steer completely clear. Yet the little thing still made it to the stage. Something that science says shouldn’t even be possible, even for city birds.

In some offshoots of Wicca and other nature-focused faiths, the sparrow represents the common people.  Bernie Sanders is funded by the common people.  By you, by me.  He is the candidate of the people.

To translate this, this is a good omen, a sign of a triumph against all odds.  Which currently Bernie is doing.  He’s backed by the people, no matter how many times mainstream media tells him he needs to quit, he’s going to lose, he’s not going to make it… Bernie keeps marching on with the common folk standing right behind him.

So yes, everyone who’s been tweeting and sharing images of Bernie being visited by the sparrow and saying this is a good sign, well, you are absolutely right.

It is indeed a good sign.

This is actually really amazing, thank you for adding this context to this moment! <3

Important note for those engaged in divination based on the type of bird: That’s not a sparrow, except in the loose sense that any LBJ becomes a “sparrow” in common usage. It is, instead, a female House Finch, Haemorhous mexicanus, and is therefore a member of a different, though related, bird family.

Never change, Tumblr.
