I thought this issue had been put to bed already.. both of these candidates have a wide variety of functional fingers, and sometimes one of them points them towards the other one when illustrating a point. It doesn't seem a good indicator of attitude, electability, misogyny, misandry, or progressiveness. I myself have been known to possess fingers. I'm hitting a keyboard with them as I type.

That was the word I was looking for, consensus.

Whether others like it or not, the only thing people were talking about after that debate was Bernie's "I'm talking" moment. Does not bode well for him (or any candidate) to have that image.

there are all sort of stills out there. The thing is, the one I posted does showcase nicely the contrast of attitude that each candidate is getting across to the public.

It's not only the finger pointing, it's also the facial expression. Sanders has gotten labeled as the grumpy man in the room.
