who don't demean, who don't expect their political leaders to step all over the least of us in order to maintain notions of white superiority whose votes would make a tremendous difference in this and other races but who are not being courted. Campaigns have limited time and resources, so the choices of where to direct them matter. It makes no sense for Sanders to waste such valuable time and resources trying to convert an element of the electorate who have consistently displayed no interest in voting for anyone like him and who despise the very people who Sanders claims to want to be the champion of.

And the extraordinary effort among some Sanders supporters to justify outreach to bigots - especially those claiming such compassion and empathy for them and insisting that it is necessary to reach out to them in order to bring the country together - rings very false in light of the lack of compassion or empathy, and, in many cases, the outright viciousness toward anyone supporting any other candidate other than Sanders or Trump.

You don't bring the country together by climbing across the people who need your help in order to sell yourself to those who spit in those very people's faces at every opportunity.
