I'll add that prob the single most politically impactful event of my life was the 2016 Alaska democratic caucus in my rural town of 3K people (which now votes trump 2-1). The line to caucus for bernie was out the door and down the stairs. it was a collection of rural people who will never again caucus in the same room, given covid and trump etc. But at that time we were so happy to be together, speaking up and out against corruption. We were something like 100+ for Sanders and 12 for Clinton
