It often seems directed at women... Often ones who should be natural allies. Whether it’s overblown or not, a segment (I’d argue not insignificant) are toxic enough that it leaves a sense that this is not a healthy or particularly safe place. Whether that’s just a perception problem or not, it’s a major problem. And it’s sad. I like Bernie... I supported him in the primaries last time. This time, I was a Warren Supporter. Part of the reason? I felt Bernie was going to have trouble given the tone of some of his most vocal supporters. Nothing this cycle has proven to me that that was an incorrect assessment.
