Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumThe pro-Hillary talking point today is that
we have an all-male white bubble here at DU. I think that is bullshit.
Someone with some cred on this site needs to put up a demographic poll for Bernie supporters to respond to - needs to offer choices something like this:
male, over 50, white
male, over 50, nonwhite
female, under 50, white
female, under 50, nonwhite
You get the idea. It should probably be in this forum so folks don't screw around with it. We can take the results out to GD : P to show them they are full of it. I think Bernie's team is varied on ages, gender, race, etc.

I say- go for it.

(31,922 posts)I did one on income years ago and it was very split. Some of that may have been professionals vs. retirees/students etc. I do know it is not all under 30 white males!

(11,785 posts)Between students, retirees, folks on disability, and the unemployed, I'd say the average DUer income is fairly modest. There are some outliers, of course, but the 1% is represented more by decibels than volume.
