re: #331 calochortus

We’ve been seeing what is to me a very off-putting ad for Bernie lately. Big crowd scene, little clips of him saying various things about what we must do and so forth, and ending with looking up at him standing at a podium, dramatic lighting, surrounded by rally attendees below. It just screams “our saviour.” Whatever happened to him being a Man of the People?

I’ve never bought Bernie as a man of the people. The modern man of the people is different than what Bernie sees it as though. I hate messiah complexes. It’s why I’m drawn to practical minded campaigns.
