Sanders supporters make an average of 80K per year.

[Hiraeth]

Must be true, I read it on DU.

... I too am part of the 99 percent. True, I don't earn as much at (sic) the $80k+ a year that the average Sanders supporter does; I did not grow up middle-class and self-entitled. ...

12. Much better word. I am disdainful of these people.

[TIME TO PANIC]

16. I'm right there with ya! n/t

[Fawke Em]

18. Hopefully soon, we won't have to hate or disdain them.

The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.

I'm hoping it won't be long until Clinton is dismissed by the voters so we can be indifferent to her fan club.

4. Sanders supporter.

I have never made anywhere close to that amount of money.

That would have taken me over 3 years to earn.

I am now disabled living on $1082.00 per month.

I can't be a Bernie Bro because I am a 62 year old female.

I have never owned a Volvo or had a Starbucks coffee.

They really don't know how many people from all walks of life

support Bernie.

5. I'm a sanders supporter and I

Made 30k last year. And my parents made about 15 and they are bernie supporters as well. I'm sure you can find individual supporters who fit in all income demographics.

6. Then someone

Is stealing mine somehow somewhere ....

7. Just remember when they're reduced to telling stupid obvious lies,

they got nothing. They can't even rat f*ck without making fools of themselves. We got 'em.

Case in point: DWS hid the debates. Camp Weathervane jumped up and down, "Hillary won! Hillary won!" Psst, thanks to the schedule, no one saw her win. They're running out of knee caps to shoot off.

Has anyone of you Sanders supporters been asked in some public way, ie a poll what your annual income is? Hubby and I certainly haven't. Have you seen any verifiable data about this? So where is whatshername getting this? Some place the sun can't get to?

Let's keep on doing what we're doing and ignore the whiners and liars. They're turning into their own worst enemies.

[Hiraeth]

8. I asked for a link. Meanwhile, we wait ...

[sarge43]

9. You shouldn't have to ask for a link.

An opinion is one thing; a "fact" should be backed up.

Meanwhile, has someone put the crickets on stand by? We may have a long wait.

[Hiraeth]

14. not holding my breath, for sure.

[n2doc]

10. Well then that just means we have more to give!

[Cleita]

13. Hmm. If that's true, someone is taking $60,000 from my income. eom

[Hiraeth]

15. and to think, if that is the AVERAGE ,,, some of us are making TONS of it.

boggles the mind how they pull this stuff straight outta their ass.

[olddots]

17. maybe they meant Bernie makes 80.000 $ a year

who knows what the third way think if at all ?

[Hiraeth]

20. Here are the links provided to substaniate this claim:

It's a demographic average
Polling demonstrates he is most popular among those making $80k+ a year.

19. An average from August.

I bet it's much lower now that he has wider-spread support.

I tried to Google it, but, since it probably no longer fits the narrative of a rich, white male, no one's done an update.

21. just posted the links above ... here they are again
