What they were saying about Senator Sanders didn't bother me although it was sort of juvenile.

What did bother me was the embarrassing tone they took when worshiping their Chosen One.

I haven't seen idol worship like that since my sister went into convulsions over Elvis Presley in 1957 or so and it makes me feel sort of queasy to see allegedly adult posters using that kind of language to describe a politician and a rather poor, centrist, charisma challenged, conventional wisdom spouting politician at that.

The whole place reminded me of a junior high school election for class president - "Hillary is so cool and Bernie is a geek".
