[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]While I think you have identified a real phenomenon on the left, I am not sure it is fair to describe that group as "Bernie Sanders supporters". Certainly some are, but the group goes beyond that. What I've seen is that some folks get so used to being against everything that they don't know any other mindset. Then, the backlash to their positions only reinforces their opposition and pushes them into even crazier stances. The most well-known example is Glenn Greenwald. [/quote] Yeah I guess I started out thinking of one thing and then it turned into another category. I guess the commonality is that I would follow a lot of these people because they also, like me, generally supported Bernie. And yes Glenn Greenwald and to some extent Matt Taibbi are good examples. There's contrarian and then there's all out grifting. I think Tulsi also fits this example. [/quote]
