They have devotion towards him because he's the only candidate who is truly for the working person and doesn't have to answer to the millionaires and billionaires funding everyone else's campaigns. How do you not see that? People are fed up and want a new way of politics and that begins with basic expanded social programs that wouldn't be seen as left-wing in any other developed country. People are fed up of the greed and corruption and they see in Bernie someone who is actually on their side.
"Thuggish behavior" you sound like Bloomberg lol. The Chapo guys and the vast majority of Bernie supporters are harmless but you keep denying poor people healthcare and college cuz some Bernie supporters hurt your fee fees.
Never mind that Bernie's base consists of a lot of immigrants, people of colour and working class women. And never mind that they are routinely criticised by liberals for supporting Bernie yet of course it's all the fault of this malevolent hidden force known as the "Bernie bros", a narrative created by the media because they know if they attack Bernie on policy they'll come out looking worse. What do they do in that case? They attack his supporters, they attack his surrogates, they undermine his wins and his election potential. When his supporters fight back from the huge mountain he has to climb, they're the problem apparently.
His "ego" of jumping back into this cycle? Why in the world would he not run again this cycle? You're delusional. He's winning. So haha.
Warren and Buttigieg deserve to be criticised btw. Just saying "vote blue no matter who" isn't good enough! It's time to rally around someone who can actually create a working class coalition and right a lot of the wrongs that neoliberalism has inflicted on the world as it's tore through communities and created a huge wealth equality gap.
