Bernie Sanders?

@GlyndonD 'Worship' is stretching it a bit, I think. That is rather like the supporters of Jeremy Corbyn in the UK being called 'a cult', because they like him as well as, more importantly, his policies.

@CeliaVL, no, I think"worship" is right on. When you believe a person can step in and cure all of society's Ills. Blind faith that he and his minions in the government are wiser, fairer, and harder working than the faithful, such that they can force better decisions and behaviors than what people would decide on their own voluntarily.

@GlyndonD Do you really think that is what Sanders' supporters feel. I would credit them with a bit more intelligence and understanding of the complexities of politics. Certainly socialists in the UK don't think that getting in a Labour Government will cure all of society's ills, but we feel that, at least, it would stop making them worse, as the current government is doing, and start taking the steps needed to change things. I would lay odds that Sanders' supporters think the same!

@Bierbasstard exactly
