49. Your mask is crooked

I seriously doubt you are a Sanders supporter or want to see him as the nominee. When you say tired old racist and sexist things like:
"The response from many among Sanders’ white male voter base..."
It is dog whistle racist and sexist bullshit.
On women and people of color:
Roughly 301,000 women have donated to Sanders's campaign compared to 240,000 for Clinton, a more than 60,00 edge as of the last reporting period at the end of September.

NARAL 100% rating (1996-2014)
NAACP 91-100% rating (1995-2014)
ACLU 100% rating (1999-2014)
Human Rights Campaign 100% (1995-2014)
Disabled American veterans 100% (1999-2014)

The point is that all these "stop the Hillary hate" people need to look in the mirror and pay attention to their own language.
Bernie has proven, not just in the last couple of years, but for decades that he is an ally of women health, women rights, LGBTQ rights and veteran's health and rights.
