Bill Maher did a good job of taking them to task for it.
Sanders is attracting more than his share of the low information voter. There is a minority of his support who are a bit dodgy.

Donald Trump has served a strange purpose in this election. It was heavily speculated that black voter turnout would diminish with the end of the Obama era. They're looking pretty motivated to me.
Sadly, Trump is turning the Repubicans into a fascist party. Sanders said today that if he was in the office instead of Obama, nobody would've asked for his birth certificate, because he is white.

Considering the hostility, slurs, and bigotry Obama has endured during his Presidency, I don't think we will see another black president leading this nation, for a very very long time!

Yeah, Sanders has said that about his birth certificate numerous times, he's like a broken record. The suggestion the Republicans are racist is a bit rich, it was the Dems who enabled slavery but used the proceeding 150 years to successfully create the impression it was the Republicans. The Dems as a party have never publicly acknowledged this or apologized for it but that doesn't matter to privileged lefties and Hollywood liberals like Morgan Freeman as he provides voiceovers for Hilary Cliinton's campaign ads that keep appearing on my TV screen every 5 minutes

Some facts about the racist history of The Democratic Party:
A Short History of Democrats, Republicans, and Racism

As for Sanders' flat out refusal to tell his supporters to stop infringing on Trump's constitutional right to free speech, I can't say I'm surprised. He's miles behind Hilary so needs every vote he can get, even if it's from self entitled trouble makers who want to shut down free speech because it contradicts their rose tinted specs view of society

Just another example of Hillary Clinton not being a very good candidate if she can't get independents on her side. Is she really that electable?

Those Dixiecrat segregationists became Republicans. Some people have never looked at an electoral map, apparently.

What about Trump's flat out refusal to tell his supporters to stop beating the shit out of protesters, hell he's been inciting it for months.

Most of the Sanders supporters who say they will sit out if Sanders loses...seem to be the young Uni crowd. Not surprising for that demographic to lose interest when their hero is gone.

Shhhh...madpooper will have a brain cramp. Especially do not remind him that the protesters were excercising their freedom of speech and right to assemble. And never tell him about the heavily armed right wingers that showed up at Obama rallies to, no doubt, intimidate.

Young people don't tend to vote anyway, so would any of them actually have voted regardless.

If Clinton really does need these voters to win,then she has a big problem.

But yes I'm sure Bernie will tell them to vote for Clinton, but more so to help down the ticket.

If Bernie believes what he stands for he would be a fool not to.

He has already said he wouldn't run as a third party candidate to prevent splitting the liberal vote.

I don't understand the self righteous indignation here. Why should Bernie supporters automatically vote for Clinton? She has to earn their votes.

But Sanders was the first major campaign to get 'attacked' by the Black Lives Matter protesters, which is pretty ironic. Is there really any proof that those protesting Trump now are Sanders supporters?

I don't think anyone on here is going to disagree that the Dem's were the party of racism in the past. It's a well understood fact. But it's also true that those racists left the Dems and joined the R's as a result of the civil rights movement. They were actively courted by the Rs as a source of votes, and it explains a lot about the R's today. There's no question in my mind that today, the R party is the racist party.

Aside from the fact they were all wearing shirts or carrying signs with his name? There likely were others too but Sanders supporters were the vast majority.
