RE: Steemit Tips: How NOT To Behave On Steemit -- Cognitive Dissonance
He is clearly insane. But more to the point, calling him a "Bernie Sanders supporter" is a bit misleading. The vast majority of his views are diametrically opposed to the values that Bernie Sanders advocates for. I think it's intellectually dishonest to cherry pick his lunatic ravings in this way.
Don't try to dress it up as anything other than what it is... you were arguing with some woman on Twitter. Your attempt to try to turn it into some kind of teachable moment says more about your state of mind than the woman you're trying to make an example out of...
He showed support for Bernie Sanders. I mean, you can call that cherry picking or intellectual dishonesty if you want. The point is the person on Twitter had cognitive dissonance because the reality of this guy being a Sanders supporter conflicted with their vision of what a Sanders supporter is. If you can disprove that in some way, I'll grant your point.
