I am not comfortable with the premises behind this article. These right-of-center men were supporting Bernie in 2016? What part of his platform agreed with their racism, sexism, and anti-immigration ideal? See! It just doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

Plus, they are sexist so they left the party, then EW's support collapsed because the "hostile sexism" was so prevalent? They just said the sexists left the party, now it's back? We're a sexist breeding ground?

This article is full of SHIT. Plainly. And I rarely use a 4 letter word.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
