(6,409 posts)As I said, people get worshipful about their candidates. Me too. I love the guy because he's a progressive and a democratic socialist, kind of my dream candidate. I even see some posts claiming Bernie Sanders will win because he is morally pure, good defeats evil, etc. If he does win, it will be because people catch on, pick up on the subtext, etc. But there's one element to the Clinton campaign missing from the Sanders campaign, and this may be the only real stylistic distinction, but the Clinton people often include this component of what they like to call reality or inevitability, but I like to call destiny, and some detractors like to call entitlement. And I do sometimes remind my fellow Sandernistas of harsh reality when they post things saying the enormous Sanders tsunami will roll in and drown the Clinton campaign, etc. I even remind them to try to be a little fair to the Clinton campaign, and they tell me to take a hike.
