Either a send up of the out of control image being perpetuated of his supporters...Or a comment on them.

Viewer's choice.

(Just trying to lighten thing up a bit.)

I try not to open partisan threads, but still, but the prospect of photos is always intriguing, nonetheless, I'm chagrined to say this one made me laugh.

Maybe people will start to think - Sanders is attracting crazy supporters, I don't want to be part of that crowd. Hmm... now which establishment candidate (Corporate Democrat) should I support because, hey, I want to be part of the normal crowd.

This is a response to all of the hoo-ha about how crazed and awful Sanders supporters (of which I am one) are. That false meme is already being pushed ad nauseum, and sometimes the best way to respond to such junk is to make fun of it. That's all.

Again, your mileage may vary.

I have read enough of the ops posts to understand they are well rooted in reality. It probably gets frustrating how so much emphasis is put on some of his(Sanders) "enthusiastic" supporters when for people like the op it is a well thought out decision and very serious. I would probably attempt to perpetuate this meme myself. Also a little fun I'm sure.
