Bernie Sanders primary challenger appears to slur transgender people as 'lady boys'

50. I wish you were right

You can look at this thread and see more than one or two.

Along with the expressions of delight that someone is running against the most progressive member of the U.S. Senate, you'll find thinly veiled personal attacks on anyone who criticizes this Svitavsky character. The posts exposing Svitavsky's bigotry are "a bit of a hit job." It's deemed suspicious that "this stuff seems to roil up whenever Russia stuff breaks."

I don't think the Svitavsky cheerleading squad represents most of DU, but AFAIK no one asserted that.

I do agree with you that Bernie has nothing to worry about. If Bernie wanted to spend the legal minimum (a filing fee, photocopying petition pages for people to sign, whatever) and no more, while Svitavsky got contributions from around the country as indicated by the comments on his campaign Facebook page (gee, I wonder who's keen to help him), it wouldn't matter. Bernie, without campaign staff, without advertising, would still clean his clock.
