i guess i'm just annoyed with the weird type of support he's getting that's not as a politician, but as someone who they're personal friends with or something, and there's no such thing as a perfect politician. the views of a lot of his base on him ignore some of the realities of politics.
so i guess what i'm saying is that it's incredibly unrealistic to view anyone as a revolutionary who will change literally everything about america and make everything a socialist paradise, and i'm getting really sick of people acting like bernie will do that, because it doesn't work that way.
