Even if I disagree with them on many issues, some of the Sandersbots seem like good people.
Not that I would trust them with any political power...
I’ll second that — a lot of the feel the bern types are legitimate idealists. They will learn in the course of their lives that the idealism does not mesh with the way too many people act but for now, don’t begrudge them their youthful ideals. Many of the young socialists today will be conservative in another few years after marriage, parenthood, and careers become their daily activities.
The difference between Bernie and Hillary boils down to this: Bernie Sanders is foolish and misguided on almost every issue. He's not an evil or corrupt person, he's just wrong most of the time.
In contrast, Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar and a political opportunist with no core principles other than her own ambition.
I don't have any personal ill-will towards a foolish but basically honest person. I have plenty of hatred to spare for manipulative crooks, however.
“Even if I disagree with them on many issues, some of the Sandersbots seem like good people.”
AS Charles Caleb Colon wrote, “He that is good, will infallibly become better, and he that is bad, will as certainly become worse; for vice, virtue and time are three things that never stand still.”
It is a much shorter step than people imagine from Bernie supporter to executioner in the killing fields.
