I see a core difference between the Clinton and Sanders supporters. Please prove me wrong.

I think the answer can be found here at the DU. Strip away all of the politics. Look at the other post made by all of us. One thing stands out above all others and same difference is found outside this circle. It is something that I actively explore, watch for and note. I remember and record many of important post that this wonder community offers with grace, thoughtfulness and concern.

I go further. I look to see who recommends these post. I note the responses and how they are framed. Long ago I saw that there were two large groups here that have a core difference in their beliefs. These two groups fit well into the two pools of Sanders and Clinton supporters.

Please prove me wrong.

Many are shocked that I dive in deep and quickly. I go for their core.

I try to find out quickly if they are worried about the environment, food production, education, energy, transportation, housing, income ...

The depth of their knowledge and the level of concern over this range of issues reflects in their political leanings.

It seems to be reflected in the small sample of voters here.
