Quand des étudiants improvisent une danse électrique au meeting de Bernie Sanders (VIDÉO)

Bernie Sanders a des partisans qui savent mettre l'ambiance
Amélia Labiod

Mardi 16 février au soir, Bernie Sanders organisait un rassemblement dans l'université privée de Morehouse en Géorgie. Avant que le rassemblement ne commence, un groupe d'étudiants a exécuté une chorégraphie, qualifiée par de nombreuses personnes comme électrique.

Selon Blayne Alexander, une journaliste de 11 Alive News, qui a rendu publique cette vidéo, ce sont près de 5000 personnes qui ont assisté à l’événement.

Organisée au sein de l'université privée pour hommes — et historiquement noire — de Morehouse, à Atlanta, la performance artistique des jeunes a été filmée et publiée sur Facebook.

Visionnée plus de deux millions de fois, la vidéo est devenue virale et continue d'être largement partagée sur les réseaux sociaux.

Tellement stupéfaite, la reporter américaine a même réalisée une interview des étudiants en question, au lendemain du rassemblement.

Pour Juana Summers, rédactrice politique à Mashable, (également présente) le rassemblement était "énergique et jeune". La foule "rugissait et acclamait" avec beaucoup d'enthousiasme l'arrivée sur scène de Bernie Sanders, qui s'était entouré du rappeur Killer Mike, pour l'occasion.

La course au vote jeune

Le célèbre slogan "Feel the Berne", né sur internet, a lui aussi été mis en avant durant cette soirée.

Depuis le début de leurs campagnes, Bernie Sanders et Hillary Clinton ont tout deux étés en concurrence pour obtenir le soutien des jeunes électeurs et des minorités.

Selon les derniers sondages de l'Iowa et du New Hampshire, Sanders aurait actuellement une longueur d'avance sur Clinton auprès des étudiants.
