That's really grotesque and sexist. I hate to ask where you found it.
How exactly is it sexist to suggest that presidential candidates should be judged on their actions instead of their gender?
Because the picture is not a nice one?
If you say the allegations are grotesquely unfounded, we can take it from there...

Agree on that one, but, as this is coming from a Sanders fan who posted it on Facebook, I guess age is not the major factor
While all three potential candidates (Clinton, Sanders, Trump) are more or less around 70, Sanders is - and looks - a bit older.

Sadly I know some Bernie supporters that are saying if Bernie doesn't get the nomination they will vote for Trump just to spite Hilary. How they can flip from Bernie, to a polar opposite like Trump makes it hard to take them seriously ever again... They're ******* stupid... I mean really, how can people seriously even ******* consider that?
Still glad it's Trump and not Cruz.

You know, I'd like to see a detailed explanation of just how Hillary Clinton is "corrupt" and a "habitual liar".
And yeah, saying "almost 70 year old" as though that's a disqualifier is really rich, coming from Bernie supporters. As I said, it's an echo chamber, where a certain type of Bernie supporter doesn't seem to have the capacity to recognize how ridiculous they are being.

That's true; a lot of "Bernie Bro's" are more like Trump supporters than the typical Democrat. They don't seem to mind the idea of switching from a candidate representing one party to a candidate representing another party. They're like the "Reagan Democrats" from 30+ years ago. Also, don't forget, Bernie Sanders is only RUNNING as a Democrat, but when he's in the Senate doing legislative stuff, he's an independent, which, I'm sure, has a lot of appeal to disaffected Americans, especially the younger generations, who have no real love for or loyalty to either party (seeing both parties as corrupt and beholden to corporate America and the 1%), unlike their elders, who grew up more trusting of both parties. There was a time in the 20th century when political party machines actually helped Americans in certain communities. This was especially true of the Democrats, who made great strides in helping immigrants and their families with jobs, money, and basically staying alive. That's why the Democratic Party has long had an association with labor unions; because immigrants and the poor and working class were union members and voted Democratic because that was the party of their best interests.
A little history lesson for those of you unfamiliar with some of the details of American history.
