Pete was having a rally in Keene, NH, and it was advertised that Michael J. Fox would be there to give a speech and (presumably) take photos. For some reason, I got starstruck and the irrational part of my brain forced me to go. It was depressing.
The rally was in a school gymnasium that wasn’t even half-full. Michael J. Fox came out first and talked. The Parkinson’s is getting worse. His voice was weak and the words came out like he was mumbling. He wasn’t shaking, but he was jerking when he spoke. Everyone gave him pity applause and then Pete came out and spent over an hour saying nothing. Pete almost immediately left but Michael J. Fox stayed for a bit a shook some hands, and then he had to go. That was it. Worst rally ever, and I went to the Biden one where he showed up for just 15 minutes and left a Q&A without answering anything.
Just curious... are you going to these for self-flagellation or are you actually voting for one of these traitors?
To be completely honest, I went to the Buttigieg rally just to try to get a picture with Michael J. Fox. It’s the only time I’ve ever done something like that. Just some synapse in the brain went into overdrive. The Biden one was for the lulz. He was at an elementary school less than five minutes from my house, so I went because I wanted a good laugh.
