Not the same thing.

The Bernie posts were about the crowds he generated at various events. The posts I read didn't make any comparisons to Hillary events, past, present, or future.

In contrast, this OP basically says, if you think Bernie's crowds or big, you ain't seen nothing yet. That is what is pointless, but it looks like I'm going to have to just suck it up and read this kind of shit for the next 12 months or so.
