I want to be able to discuss politics not mindlessly worship a candidate and refuse to entertain anything unrelated to them or anything that doesn't praise them.

They dismiss the comparison because of policy, but:

1) attack the media
2) predominantly use fringe and biased media sources
3) promote conspiracy theories
4) engage in personal attacks
5) use insulting names for other candidates


There's a lot of what the Bernie Bros crowd does that mirrors the MAGA crowd. The fact that Bernie is far, far more admirable in his aims doesn't excuse the behavior of the supporters. They're also not winning anyone over with the behavior. 

I haven't read the entire thread so if what I'm about to ask has already been discussed, I apologize. I have often wondered if the Bernie supporters are trying to vote him in to get rid of college debt and/or relieve the future college debt? Bernie speaks a lot about free, free, free. Yet I don't think he has yet stated how to pay for it? I also feel if he was elected, it would be similar to and independent gaining the seat and neither side would work with him. I know he claims to be democrat, but the democrats dislike him it seems.
