Paranoia Among The Self-Deputed Rationalists

No flipping way Bernie lost in Massachusetts and Maine. All of those voters tuned center-right and voted for Corporate Joe?

The Bernie Bot podcasts, etc. are melting down because Sanders didn't clinch the nomination on Super Tuesday,  that comment above is just one of the totally clueless things I've read as the likes of The Young Turks, Majority Report, no doubt In These Times and The Nation work to do what they're good at, convincing their idiot play-lefty audience that DARK FORCES! are denying their cult god the victory that is rightfully his.  

It's remarkable how I missed that feature of the play-left, quasi-Marxist, "socialist (though not the Socialists who at one time actually won elections) etc.  that they so obviously only trust the voters when the voters do what they want them to do.  And if they don't do what they want them to do it's because DARK FORCES! are at work.  

That Massachusetts liberals are liberals who have produced the one member of "The Squad" who isn't a Bernie Bot, have elected many center-left to moderate Democrats to state and federal office doesn't do a thing to counter the manufactured paranoia of the play-lefty media.  And if that's the case for Massachusetts, Maine is certainly more to the center than the Bay state.  

But they never let a little thing like reality impinge on their narratives.  They really do have more in common with the Trump true-believers than they'd ever want anyone to notice. 

It's no wonder that so many of them are fans of low-grade paranoia fiction like Lovecraft.
