i like sanders and i feel more comfortable saying that in this group than in places which are supposed to be for his supporters because i'm so turned off by the hate. and i'm not talking about hate towards hillary clinton either as she is the other candidate. but attacks on obama and the way they view blacks and other minorities just turn me off.

and then you have the conspiracy theories.

to be fair to sanders many of these people were this way before he was running and i don't think sanders is anything like that.

but it says something his own campaign had to tell people to be respectful.
