Bernie shares the values of many left-leaning Democrats.

If he wins the primary, would you support him?

It is hard to quantify.

And certainly some opposition to Bernie is also because he is Jewish.

and I said he probably felt the same.

Where does that suggest he doesn't respect you?

He might have an unconscious bias. Or he could just prefer Bernie based on the issues.

I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt in situations like that.

Most of us have at least a few little pieces of mental baggage, even the best of us. It's a symptom of the society we grew up in.

Hopefully, one day we will be past all of this.

I try to always remember that I grew up in the 70's and 80's in the deep South. I think I turned out pretty good despite that, but I also try to be super-vigilant just in case there are still some small pieces of chauvinist or racist junk hidden deep down in the dark recesses of my brain.

He voted for Obama twice but kept saying he thought Hillary would have been a better president.

if HRC is the ultimate Democratic Nominee, she will get my vote in the General Election. Until then I will support candidates who's views more closely align with mine and at this point that is Bernie Sanders who I have listened to over many years.

I do not dislike Hillary, but I have several issues with her candidacy (as I did last time) and would prefer someone other than her as the Democratic Nominee.
