Sen. Bernie Sanders’s coalition isn’t that big, at least not right now — he won about a quarter of Democratic primary voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, plus about a third of the first-alignment vote in Nevada,1 and about a quarter to a third of Democratic voters say they support him in most state and national polls. But Sanders’s backers are worth understanding because of what they’ve accomplished: making a democratic socialist who is not officially a Democrat the front-runner to lead the Democratic Party, over the objections of virtually all of the party’s establishment and many of its voters.
So who exactly are Sanders’s voters?
Yes, as you have probably read, many of his supporters are young and identify as very liberal. But you can be old and liberal or young and moderate. So is Sanders exclusively the candidate of people who are both young and liberal, very liberal people of all ages, young people of all ideologies, or some other demographic? The answer, from our analysis of exit/entrance polls and other surveys, is … it’s complicated.2
Sounds about right!
Soviet Socialists...
It sounds like a lot of his supporters are living in mom’s basement or attic—kinda what we suspected.
“What Defines the Sanders Coalition”
CRAZY FREELOADERS!
Is the pink haired one really a male?
I honestly can’t tell!
Psychopathy.
Considering Sanders ‘targets’ students and racial minority groups and that they are victims of society they want all the freebies he offers and no wonder they gravitate to him.... It has nothing to do with equality, as he preaches to those eager ears, rather stepping out into the world as a student, or as a minority accustomed to benefits, they want to be taken care of and believe they are entitled to have an easy life equal to those who do the hard work to get ahead....that they don't want to do.

Good old fashioned “useful idiots”.
Come on, everyone knows that.
Globalist, socialist swing voters are still crying in their closets about Hillary losing but won’t give up hope that someone like her (Biden) will win. Give up. Sanders is the populist Democrat candidate and will be the Democrat nominee. Biden, Bloomberg or any of the other Democrat candidates would also lose.
Trump 2020.
Coalition of basically young people who watched Congress bail out our largest banks in 2008 and now see absolutely NO reason why Congress can’t also fund:
- Their education
- Their debt forgiveness
- Their health care
- Their housing
- Their child care
- Paid time off from work
- etc. etc. etc. etc. ETC. ETC. ETC.
That bank bailout is going to go down in history as the first domino which eventually toppled the country.
