(1,000 posts)However, there are many reasons a person can think the system is rigged.
The lack of debates, the voting machines switching votes, the lack of adequate voting places, the rush to announce the winner in California (they are still counting 2 million votes), the super delegates, the lack of media coverage of Bernie from the very beginning. All are arguments that can be debated. Taking a position you don't agree with does not make you sexist or racist.
Perhaps a person comes the conclusion based on their own experience.
And yes, there are some who come to this conclusion based on race and sex, but white folks in america are all racist and sexist to some degree.
I simply don't think it is productive to apply the title to all who question the political system. There is a lot that needs to be fixed.
There are some black voters who think the process rigged, some older white women will vote for Bernie and not be sexist, just don't like Hillary's politics. There a plenty young voters who support Hillary and do not think the process rigged, they are white and of color, male and female.
There is no more a herd effect of white males than there is of white women for Bernie.
Who is to say.
