Really? They tout Sanders as being a leader in civil rights, when for the last 36 years he's lived exclusively in, and his only experience come from being a legislator for a state that has a 95% white population (only 1.2% black/African American).
Yes, I know, he did walk with MLK in the 60's. Extremely admirable, and it is definitely a great thing that he was a leader back then. However, since the late 70's he left behind the place he'd come from.. the place that DID have real cultural and racial diversity for Vermont. He has legislated for decades from a virtually all white tower of isolation. While there is nothing morally or socially wrong with that (Living in Vermont, and being a legislator from Vermont is perfectly respectable), qualified presidential material, and a "leader in civil rights" it does not make.
