"Thanks, Bernie!" is the new "Thanks, Obama!"

Some people can be mean on the internet. "Thanks. Bernie!"

This is not an issue unique to any group of people, much less to Sanders' supporters. Internet trolls of all stripes are often mean and insensitive. Why is this nonissue newsworthy only when it can be used to attack Sanders?

White people have trouble coming to terms with their racial privilege. "Thanks. Bernie!"

This is not an issue unique to any group of white people, much less to Sanders' supporters. Why is this newsworthy only when it can be used to attack Sanders?

The Republican party has made responsive and responsible governing at the federal level almost impossible. "Thanks, Bernie!"

Somehow this is only a problem in terms of getting the planks of Sanders' platform signed into law. I guess since nobody actually believes Clinton has any intention of fighting for her recently coopted "me too" agenda, this exact same issue somehow does not apply equally to her?

PoC have had to contend with institutional racism in the USA for centuries. "Thanks. Bernie!"

Yes, Sanders voted for Bill Clinton's heinous crime bill, and that was a big mistake. But Hillary actively shilled for this terrible bill, and almost every black Democratic member of Congress joined Sanders on this vote. So how can Clinton surrogates have the gall to blame this atrocity on Sanders? And where is Clinton's superior, explicitly stated plan to reduce social injustice?

The Democratic party has been corrupted by Wall Street contributors and lobbyists. "Thanks. Bernie!"

OH MY GOD! Sanders was caught associating with known Democratic party members!

*****

So this is their idea of the kitchen sink? To blame Sanders for not yet making the world perfect and to condemn him for associating with them and once mistakenly voting for a law they themselves strenuously lobbied him to vote for?
