Why is it up to his supporters to speak for him? If the candidate HIMSELF can't articulate a reason for you to support him, then that's what you should base your decision on. If you like his stances and think we would make a good leader, then that's a good reason to support him. His other supporters have no bearing on these things.

I seriously don't understand why you can't separate a politician from his "fanbase" for lack of a better term, especially the fringey ones. This is something the politician himself has very little, if any, control over.

People support candidates whose views they agree with. It's absolutely fair to associate the views of his supporters with those of the candidate. His policies speak to immature, overly-aggressive, and sexist people, and people who either don't want or don't feel the need to challenge those people. It makes no sense to say that people need to ignore that.

That's a logical fallacy. People like Sanders appeal to anyone who likes to say they're Sticking It To the Man in any way - him and Trump, honestly, just different demographics. Lots of people who are sexist, entitled, or otherwise socially ridiculous are also anti-capitalism and anti-establishment. Who else do you think they're going to latch onto? Seriously, there are three candidates still officially in the race, and they all have HUGE groups of people supporting them, and many of the people in those groups are going to be people whose ideas and attitudes are very different from the people they're supporting.

The way to determine what a candidate ACTUALLY supports is to, you know, listen to what they way and watch what they do. Their words, platform, track record, and personal demeanor are what represent them - not other people who happen to like them. Bernie can't force people to not follow him if he disagrees with them; nobody can do that.
