Attacking Jane Sanders on the way she looks is as misogynistic as doing the same to Hillary Clinton. We're better than that.

Criticizing her on what she says and what she does is fair game, but the way she looks should be off limits. And dragging in hints of mental illness (the trope of the mentally ill homeless woman) is especially egregious. Please don't sink to those depths. Please edit your post.
