Thanks for the thread, kpete.

(62,325 posts)5. Yes, he is Uncle Joe. And I think that is why people are relating to him as soon as they
get to know him. He is so honest! This is a rare chance for us to get someone into the WH who is without guile, who is rare, not just in politics, but, sadly, in RL also.

are the people on the Internet trying to do the same past today's corporate media.

SUSAN PAGE (USA Today): ... And, also, his (Bernie's) manner. She (Hillary) has got all kinds of problems in looking approachable and looking like shes a fully-fledged human being. And hes all hes just totally approachable. Hes 100 percent authentic, approachable Bernie Sanders. So I think the contrast is not helpful to her.
TAMARA KEITH (NPR): Yes.
GWEN IFILL: Go ahead.
TAMARA KEITH: I was just going to say that when I talk to people out when Im reporting, they say things like, gosh, Bernie Sanders is just so real.
And it creates that contrast with Hillary Clinton, who has been in public life for so long. Shes had her picture taken so many times that she has that smile down just right. And Bernie is just out there being Bernie. And so it does create sort of a stylistic contrast for people.

Bif, Pow, Ouch,

The political borg.
Bernie has not been absorbed yet. He's still human.
I am just joking here. Not all politicians get "absorbed" to the point they can't be 'real' or 'authentic' any more. But some definitely do, and it seems the longer you are in politics and the higher you go, the more likely you have become one of them.
