If you had meant 'because I'm not a woman' for instance. After all, I'm not black, and I certainly had it suggested to me that I was voting for Obama because he was black.

But I do actually read a wide variety of comments on all sorts of topics, not just economics. And as a person supporting Bernie, I've been reading a lot of the Bernie-related stuff, and I simply haven't come across that particular accusation out there even at random among all other sorts of comments. Like I said, I'm sure somebody out there is saying it, but out of all the things Bernie supporters are saying, it doesn't seem to be showing up much at the moment. Bernie's hair isn't any sort of priority of mine, but I've seen entire threads dedicated to mocking Bernie for not combing his hair.
