And all this time we thought that Hillary had secured the ‘Witch’ vote!
These witches are feeling the burn. Ahem, ‘Bern.’
According to the Los Angeles Times, Sanders supporters in Portland, Oregon are holding Wiccan rituals in order to aid the “amplification of positive energy of Bernie Sanders and the progressive movement,” in the words of one of the gathering’s leaders.
The L.A. Times’ Chris Megerian reports:
They gathered around a small rug with four candles, flowers and an imitation ballot box adorned with Bernie stickers. Each person was handed a replica ballot and took turns declaring what they would like to see changed — ending private prisons, bringing back Glass-Steagal financial regulations, labeling genetically modified foods and increasing access to college. A reporter for a local alternative weekly who participated in the ritual asked for more transparent public records laws.

Then they circled the candles together, chanting “be the Bern, be the Bern, be the Bern,” a campaign slogan.
When they were finished, they passed around cherries and ginger lemonade.
The Oregon primary is on Tuesday, and according to a recent poll Clinton has a double-digit lead.
