Sanders supporters don't like Harris.
But which Sanders supporters? I'll tell ya which...the miffed white millennial Sanders supporters who sat on their fat white hairy zit-covered, cellulite ridden asses in Starbucks on November 8th infront of their half-sweet, upside down, decaf, caramel macchiatos. Anybody besides me had a gutfull of these goddamn people yet?

Supporters of Harris argue that the criticism from the "Sanders crew" is misguided. Essence contributor Michael Arceneaux responded directly to (Roseann) DeMoro's criticism of Harris.
"When it comes to where progressives live, uh, which ones are she referring to? The white ones?" Arceneaux wrote. "OK, but they don't make the party. See the results of the last primary."
Arceneaux was alluding to a long-standing critique that the progressive Sanders-wing has failed to gain support from minority voters.
Marcus Johnson, a black writer for HuffPost, reiterated this sentiment on Twitter. Johnson responded to a tweet from Mic that expressed Harris' problem with the "Bernie-wing" of the Democratic Party.
"She's a black woman and last year that demographic voted against Sanders at the highest rates. That ‘wing' has big props [with] black voters," Johnson wrote.
