I think many of Bernie's policies would be disastrous if implemented (getting the economics right REALLY matters), but I can definitely see why he has such a following.
Granted, he's talking about my pet issue here, but he feels "real", in a way that few politicians do?
It feels so refreshing to listen to a politician respond to things in ways that feel straightforward and obvious, when everyone else is playing political double-speak games.
Even if his polices are pretty bad, I do believe that Sanders really does care about the American people and American workers.
It's easy to see how you could trust him and be loyal to him for that, especially if you don't think (as I do) that getting the economics right is ~ the most important thing in a politician.
Obviously, this is how many people feel about Trump, as well.
Even if we disagree about how to organize society, I hella appreciate this man for speaking frankly and sensibly about the possible impending destruction of humanity.
