Re: Why do you love Sanders?
[quote name="Vested Id"][quote name="just curious"]It's low hanging fruit to point out that a big chunk of his supporters are dimwit social media activist types, but his philosophy reflects their simplistic attitudes.[/quote] This is certainly a factor in why I am voting for him, the sound of many well-fed people saying "well we all know this guy is impractical" when his approach on these issues is exactly what the political and certainly the widespread popular reaction should have been. Remember how the Occupy movement "accomplished nothing" except pushing wealth inequality to the front burner? It's a special kind of mind control to associate having wits with playing ball, and being outraged with stupidity. Call it the Barzini Point of No Return, where you pivot from being sickened by a moral universe to being a conspirator in it.[/quote]
