You see, this impacts them. Never mind that there's no actual impact, they only want those among them who behave as expected. Also, he got excessive attention due to his attire, which gave him a bigger audience for his political views.

So youre saying that things need to impact these people?

Only very small things though. A few millimetres at most.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Do you think about 5.56 milimeters would be enough, or should we splurge on 7.62 milimeters?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Nah youll want way thicker rope than that

Not necessarily.

People who disagree with his dress attire may not care to pay attention to his message/opinions (ex.: "This guy's a joke, I'm not listening to him").

Those who dismiss him because of his attire would, most likely, not listen to him, regardless. It's the others, who otherwise would know nothing of this man or his policies, who may be swayed in some way.

As someone who agrees with his dress style It shows that he's young and different And the uproar against his style made me interested in him as a person

*Btw this is the first time I've heard about it and strictly on first impressions

You think they listen to Bernie Sanders?

You think they listen to Bernie Sanders?

I have no idea. I was just speaking towards some people's prejudices of wanting people in authority to be well dressed and ignoring them if not.

I personally don't agree with it, just bringing up the point. I'm definitely a substance over style type of person.

They don't. He wears a suit. These acorns are gatekeeping.

These acorns are gatekeeping.

Not necessarily.

They just may be creatures of habit, and trying to uphold the 'institution' philosophy of Congress (in their minds)

Sometimes you can just take someone at face value, you don't always have to look for ulterior motives.
