30. when you have been saying the same thing longer than many have been alive, it matters

No can explain if why if Sanders was so sexist when ti came to Warren why he would have wanted her to run for President in 2016.

No one can explain if Sanders really thought a woman could not be President, he would have made it a point to say the exact opposite for over 30 years. No one was making Sanders say a woman could be President in 1988.

Used to be a thing called the Magic Bullet Theory. Not, it had nothing to do with JFK. It was the idea that the media could form opinions. When tested researchers found what really happened is the media could influence the formation of new opinions, it could reinforce existing ones, it made people think about whatever the subject is. But it couldn't' make people form specific opinions whole cloth, especially if other information was available.

I think the anti-Sanders crowd didn't understand that. Every time they have tried pushing the "Sanders is sexist" trope, it only convinces those who already don't like Sanders. Everyone else looks at Sanders and thinks That not what a guy who hates women sounds like. That is not what a misogynist does"

Truth always outs, as they say.
