(744 posts)It's far less about the issues than it is the public persona of Bernie. While I've never been much for our culture's cult of celebrity, I could at least stomach that a little. What I couldn't stomach was the tone. And yes, I saw the intent of the post of which we speak and that makes it no less crazy. Basically the argument is that they want the vast majority of people who are not paid trolls to sound absolutely ludicrous in the name of the small few who are. I find it equally bizarre on this site that 90% of the pro-Hiillary posters are called paid trolls. Mind you, I support Hillary but she's just a candidate. The way these people talk about Bernie, you'd think he was Jesus. I've never seen anything like it and that JPR site makes the Bernie phenomenon look even more cult-like than any of the behavior on here.
