9. Sanders supporters are either blind to the bigotry or just choose to ignore it

Shouting people down won't win people over to your side. If they listened once in a while and demonstrated some empathy, they could start to bridge some of the demographic gaps among Bernie's supporters.

Instead they would rather blame an abstract establishment or chalk it up to a complex conspiracy. It's easier for them to blame others rather than looking in the mirror and trying to figure out why Sanders isn't able to attract the Obama coalition.
