How to spot a @BernieSanders supporter:

[Tom Rinaldo]

1. OK, I was expecting to dislike this post

but I gotta admit this is just plain funny

[NWCorona]

4. Yup!

[demmiblue]

7. Bernie supporters always manage to put a smile on my face!

[Luminous Animal]

9. He was having a lot of fun at the rally and made into newspapers all the way to the UK.

[demmiblue]

16. Out of curiosity, what rally was it from? n/t

[Luminous Animal]

17. Oakland.

[demmiblue]

25. Looked for him, but there were too many people!

[democrattotheend]

41. Same

I expected either a crybaby or a dirty hippieish bum

[CorporatistNation]

43. I waS Going To Mention That Bernie Supporters Think For Themselves And Are Of Above Avg Intellect!

And they more often than not can be depended upon to be truthful and honest in their statements.

[Iliyah]

2. To each it's own

[WhiteTara]

3. OMG How embarrassing.

[Trust Buster]

5. They are emotionally radical.

[Fawke Em]

18. Not so emotional that we support people under criminal investigations.

[NWCorona]

6. Lol that's too funny!

He's definitely taking it to the head!

[quickesst]

8. Where is...

... The tin foil hat?

[Surya Gayatri]

10. The implied hero worship is disturbing...just like the "sanctification" here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511591182

You inspire us Sen. Sanders, to be better. We are more beautiful than we were and we're grateful for your leadership in making that happen. Let us be the wind beneath your wings!

Never had a senator bring tears of joy to my eyes nor have I followed a presidential campaign so closely. No matter what happens, you, Mr. Sanders, have lit a fire that will, hopefully, burn brighter than before. #feelthebern

If I knew anything about sculpture, I would chisel a cliff with your likeness and call it a national monument. I could go on and on... But I'll stop here. Just, thank you, forever and ever.

[Armstead]

14. Worse than Mao Tse Clinton images?

[all american girl]

19. I like that poster...I think she looks great!

[Armstead]

22. If you like it, fine

But it is an example of the "disturbing hero (heroine" worship" and "sanctification" the post I was responding to claims Sanders supporters are guilty of.

If you like a poster that depicts Clinton as one of the "dear leaders" of North Korea or old-style Chinese Communist propaganda, that's your prerogative. But it sure isn't a nice unassuming depiction of her.

[aikoaiko]

37. That's the purpose of that kind of art. Image over reality.

[NCTraveler]

29. I really really like that image.

I get that it opens the door for red-baiting with "Mao" comments but I like it none the less.

[bigtree]

20. seems harmless

...I prefer adoration to the slurs, scorn, and invectives that come with an anti-rival campaign.

Might be a bit of this amazing June 1 morning talking...

[Surya Gayatri]

24. But, such positive posts are rare in GeeDee-Pee.

And, when frustrated or disappointed, this sort of OTT adoration can easily become bitter and twisted.

[aikoaiko]

38. Really? You seem to choose scorn and invectives often in your OPs.

Maybe you should stick to adoring HRC and you'll be a happier person.

[pinebox]

11. lol!

[bigwillq]

12. That looks comfy.

I love hoods on clothes.


Funny pic.

[all american girl]

21. Right there with you...not sure I would do a one piece...not a good look on this mama...

I wonder where you get something like that, though?

[Maven]

13. LOL!

[B Calm]

15. LOL, another positive unifying post from a Bernie supporter! K&R

[nolabels]

23. Bernie supporters don't ride on public transportation, they have wings!

[left-of-center2012]

26. And yet, it inspired Bernie haters to respond

Sad.
Very sad.

Will the Bernie hate posts stop after the last primary?

[Agnosticsherbet]

27. An adult onesie.

[bigtree]

30. adult footie

... if you don't believe that all Americans have a right to footie pj's, then maybe you're the radical.

[Agnosticsherbet]

31. footie pj's as a right?

Oh, that's good.

[NCTraveler]

28. I wonder if they voted? They might just be going for street cred. nt.

[Arkana]

33. This picture gave me an instant headache.

[Orsino]

34. Those aren't spots! n/t

[lumberjack_jeff]
