The Sanders fanatics are hands-down the most insufferably self-righteous among the politically motivated these days, proudly aiming hosannas in the direction of any word that tumbles out of their candidates’s mouth and touting each and every poll that shows him gaining ground as proof that America is “feeling the Bern” and turning its back on literally everything it’s voted for up to this point in its history.

He could be describing posts on DU. What I didn't like about this writer, though, is that he painted "the left" with a broad brush. He seems to equate the left in general with Sanders supporters. I'm part of "the left," but I support Hillary Clinton but I know she's not a messiah. She'll just be a good President, who will do everything she can to keep her promises. Some of them she won't be able to keep, just like any U.S. President in history. We don't have a dictatorship in this country.
