Bernie gave thoughtful answers to Chuck Todd's "questions," aka talking points disguised as questions.

Bernie did not show disrespect to the poor. He cited statistics that said 75-80% of the poor don't vote. He said he wanted to get more poor and working class people to vote.

Bernie also showed that he can modulate his tone and is not "shouty" all of the time.

Chuck Todd is getting ready to say that Bernie admitted defeat. Chuck Todd is a weasel.

When Bernie says "poor people don't vote" he is stating the TRUTH. I suggest that the people who got their feelings hurt DO SOMETHING and 1) vote if they haven't been 2) help GOTV efforts and 3) raise hell about voter suppression which primarily targets the poor and minorities.
