Pondering why Bernie was and is so hated by the so many on the left. There were many reasons of course, but it wasn’t just I think that he deigned to oppose Clinton, but rather it’s about classism.

Not classism directly against Bernie (mostly, though he is one of the least wealthy people in the Senate), but rather indirectly as he appealed to the “deplorables” so despised by the Clinton coalition.

Classism is the prejudice we daren’t name and aren’t allowed to speak about. And no, I am not just talking about against poor whites, but rather that the Democrats would like to pretend that class just doesn’t exist — mostly because if they discuss it, it could lead to poor whites, poor blacks and other non-college-educated undesirables colluding and seizing some measure of power and thus inconveniencing the rich.

In that way, the Democrat coalition of affluent professionals, the college educated and the Wall Street mandarins are just as racist and desirous of enforcing racial ineqity as the neo-nazis in Trump’s creaky confederation.
