The most remarkable thing about the "Hillary Shill" reddit post.

Is it that some jackass decided to pretend to be someone they aren't on the internet? No, that happens all the time.

Is it that the online Bernie community swallowed it hook, line, and sinker, and it's got 150+ recs on DU? No, there's hardly any conspiracy theory or factually dubious claim that they haven't embraced.

No, the most remarkable thing is that the Bernie reddit forum actually deleted the post. Wow! This is one of the first signs of rational thought coming out of that place. This one Bernie redditer even seems like an intelligent human being! Vermonty_Python belongs in a museum somewhere...

'A Sanders supporter on the internet said something and I believe they are all just like that very honest internet stranger' is the crux of much of DU's discourse. Gullibility and chumpdom are the themes of the day.
