Why Women Trust Bernie



Jan 21, 2020

“He has integrity and honesty and I feel like I would trust him in office to make the best decisions, and not just politically motivated decisions.”

Listen to why these women are supporting our movement.

22. A larger sample: Economist poll shows "Women Actually Make Up More of Bernie's Base Than Men Do"
Tue Jan 21, 2020, 11:18 PM
Jan 2020
Polling has continually proven that Sanders’ base is much more diverse than the figure of the Bernie Bro would suggest: An analysis of polling between November 2018 and March 2019 found both that Sanders was more popular among people of color than among white people, and that women supported Sanders just as much as men did, “if not more,” according to Vox. Earlier this month, a Univision Noticias poll found Sanders was the candidate Latino voters favored most after current Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden. And The Economist’s latest numbers show Sanders in the number-two spot behind Biden with Hispanic and Black voters.

Yet the Bernie Bro concept continues to endure, much to the chagrin of Sanders’ women supporters, who say it ignores a significant portion of the Vermont senator’s base.

Although he wrote that ghastly rape fantasy years ago, it's still disgusting to a large number of women. And his supporters say that he has said the same thing for years and never changes? That's all I need to know.



But in the highly unlikely event that he is the Democratic nominee, I'll put a clothespin on my nose and vote for him.

by instances of sexual harassment and gender-based pay discrimination that they feel compelled to unionize against management.

And then those women get to see their efforts to protect themselves "spun" as an example of pro-unionism.
