The power of campaigning.

It's very interesting the power that the social situation of being a candidate gives you.

You show up to people randomly and have a sheet of paper with your name on it and your picture on it, and then out of nowhere you can stir up people's deepest thoughts and values all quickly, like you rile them up and get them pissed off about the big banks.

It's like you're creating a new social situation de novo, through sheer force of will, and drawing all this shit out of people.

It's very fascinating, and very fascinating to experience.

It's not like you control them or what they think, but you touch a chord and hold it, or something like that.
