24. You are shooting at the wrong target

As one who considers Sen. Sanders to have a relevance far inferior to the attention paid to him here, my negative feelings are not toward Sanders, but rather toward those who constantly post his every word as if they had come from the Messiah, himself. How many people here post speeches and quotes from Al Gore? I find Gore's words to have a far greater depth and relevance, and yet the board is not bombarded with "Al Gore says" posts.
