Yeah... because stereotyping/stigmatizing Bernie supporters based on gender, race, and age, isn't bigoted at all...

Anecdotally, I've seen a lot of popular progressives on Youtube and other platforms really going after Biden, Buttigiegg and the other more centrist candidates. There seems to be an organized leftist populist groundswell for Bernie. My fear is that the Democrats didn't learn their lesson from 2016 and if a centrist wins the nomination they will again employ their leftist purity test and give Trump an opportunity to take advantage. Or it may leave a lane for Tulsi to drive through.

For the sake of all of us, I hope the Dems keep their eye on the goal and not get bogged down too deeply in the ideological muck.
That's all fine and good provided that:

1) the nomination process isn't rigged in favor of the leading centrist candidate, as it was in 2016, and
2) if a progressive such as Bernie wins the nomination, the party unifies behind him in the general.
