Synopsis

Lessons learned and uplifting stories of grassroots progressives during the 2016 Presidential election, at caucuses and primaries, and conventions on the front-lines of a new political revolution. My Journey with Bernie is an adventure and reads like “a roller coaster ride” with incredible highs, steep drops, and lows with inspirational, uplifting stories about the people who are bringing enthusiasm, hope, and leading a new political revolution. In My Journey with Bernie, Kacey Carpenter shares his personal story and lessons learned from people he met during the campaign, at caucuses and primaries, and conventions. Along his journey, he gains trust in the power of people with renewed optimism for “A Future to Believe In.” “Look it's not about me, it's about us, and when we stand together we can do anything,” Bernie Sanders tells the volunteers at the Reno Rally in December 2015, pointing his finger directly at me, Kacey recalls, urging all of us to do more. “At that moment,” Kacey says, “I feel the Bern.” Soon, he is co-leading 300 people from 30 states to go to Iowa for the first Democratic Party caucus to begin a journey traveling around the country and the world.

Book Excerpt

My Journey with Bernie

Step #4. Be an optimist.

I am naturally enthusiastic and bring my passion and energy to everything that I do. I believe that anything is possible and encourage others to believe in my ideas and strategies. Many political campaigns use negative advertising or targeted attacks for the simple reason that they get attention. It is harder to remain positive and optimistic, but in the long run, most people are frustrated with politics as usual. Also, perception is more important than reality, and negativity can backfire. Trust is fragile and hard earned. During my journey with Bernie, it was challenging when I felt that we were under attack with negative messages and smears. But, leaders and candidates can be positive, hopeful, and optimistic and win. These people are more likable and trusted in the long run
