Income equality in particular among another things. Think about that: on a so-called Democratic board, saying you are for economic justice gets you labeled an MRA racist. I have been called both.

There was a thread that Sanders and his supporters don't care about African Americans because they talk about economic issues and because black people living in poverty aren't as poor as Africans. People cheered and applauded that thread. I still can't believe it.

And then we are treated to thread after thread of how *mean* Sanders supporters are while they are throwing bombs all over the place.

They hypocrisy is stunning and I have not seen it's like many times in my life.
