@Olivier5,
Quote:You're so obsessed with this alledged sanctification of Bernie Sanders that you see it everywhere, even in Porshe's posts...
who has been on your side of the Bernie-Hillary battle for WEEKS!
I see these exchanges with you as an abyssmal waste of time and energy because I really don't think you're terribly bright.
But you insist on continuing to characterize me as "obsessed" or otherwise irrational in some way, so I will respond one last time just for the clarity of anyone else following along.
The idolization of Sanders is
not something I dreamed up. It is happening. The mania of the rabid Bernibots is well documented. If
you don't happen to agree that he's being idolized and idealized in unhealthy and unproductive ways, fine. We disagree about it. I can live with that. Go pester someone else.
Quote:If by your wild hyperbole you mean that Bernie's supporters tend to ideakize him, you may be right.
Okay, so now you're talking out of both sides of your face - saying I'm "obsessed" with the "alledged" (sic) sanctification of Sanders out of one side,
but saying I "may be right" out of the other side. You're acting like a sicko who just wants to argue. All the more reason to avoid further exchanges with you.
Quote: Just like we idealized Obama.
Speak for yourself. "We" who? I invite
anyone to look at the thread entitled 'Obama 2008' and examine the nature of the arguments made for Obama's candidacy.
I and others like Sozobe were huge proponents for Obama. But you won't find any verbiage like "the last good man" or "our only hope" there. "We" tried to make the argument that Obama was
the best person for the job. I didn't then, and do not now have any illusions that Obama was going to do some superhuman transformation of DC. Your attempt to make our efforts then equivalent to the efforts of the most rabid Bernibots now is
BOGUS.
Quote:This is a natural, very human phenomenon that does not detract from the actual, "objective" worth of the candidate.
8 years later, Obama still seems to me as the right choice, even if he wasn't as great as I'd hoped...
You're trying to have it both ways. You're trying to say that the idolization of Bernie is just my dreamed-up obsession, but at the same time it's a "natural, human" thing to do. You're not only an annoying pest - you're also an illogical and inconsistent one.
Quote:Some politicians, like some artists, can develop an enthusiastic fan base. This is a fact of life.
You may disagree with the fan's "fanatism" but it's not a bad thing to be a fan of someone. Don't sweet it.
You must have me confused with someone who asked for your advice. If I want to opine on the over-the-top idolization of Bernie, I'll do so and if you don't like it you can pucker up and suck it. I'm not "sweet"ing anything. I'm certainly not going to "sweet" you and your gibberish. You can have the last word on this as I suspect you will insist on it. After that if you continue with your unsolicited advice about how I talk about Bernie, I'll just slap you on ignore. Have a pleasant day.
