@inthehands @Adam_Cadmon1 Something I rarely if ever see brought into the open is that Sanders is Jewish, and seeing a Jew running for the highest office in the land (regardless of how assimilated or secular he is) would've brought out an unbelievable amount of ugliness. I'd bet there're lifelong progressive Dems who'd hesitate at pulling the lever for a Jew.
Antisemitism in the US is like background noise. It's always there, but sometimes it gets loud enough for non-Jews to hear.
