Sander's sincerity does not matter much, nor does his ability to resist pressure matter in the slightest. He has no chance of being elected so support for him is the white liberal version of supporting Rand Paul (or his father in previous cycles.) [Let's get real here, to win the Democratic nomination the man would have to actually, you know, declare himself to be a Democrat...] That he has support in the tech community is not surprising, I see a lot of #feelthebern support in my Facebook feed from white liberal techies in my circle of friends and I will chuckle with amusement and move on to things that actually matter. If I did not know any better I would have guessed that Bernie and the Trump were plants from the Clinton campaign to frame the extremes of the debate. As to the whole "build hope and then continue the same" bullshit line you are trying to slide in there, if you think that our presidents have been the same or even vaguely similar then you have obviously not been paying attention and you probably have that child-like imagined view of what a US president does and what they can actually accomplish that we seem to propagate in our media narratives. Don't worry, lots of Americans fall for the story as well. They end up with similar levels of vague disappointment because reality never quite lines up with the stories they have been told.
