The White Entitlement of Some Sanders Supporters

[BobbyDrake]

3. No argument here. Those are all good points.

I think Sanders draws his support from older former hippies and younger people who clearly want to be the next generation of hippies. The language they use sometimes, much of it seems to be about a system built on romantic or idealized ideas that just don't exist in the real world (outside some fiction novels, that is). It is very much like a religious movement, not just a political one.

“When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's too late.” ~Frank Herbert, Dune
