    Bernie’s supporters are younger, more female and less white than any other Democratic presidential candidate’s. The conventional (Twitter) wisdom about ‘Bernie Bros’ is all wrong. Surprise (!)
    This is very interesting.

    It’s weird that we are on a spaceship hurtling through a vast vacuum, and so many people in the spaceship’s control room don’t seem to care that there are flashing red lights on the console warning that our spaceship’s life support system is overheating.
