It's interesting that when anyone anywhere says anything about Bernie that's less fawning than "Bernie's so dreamy!" his supporters swarm to stand up for him, criticize the critique and usually, attack rather pointedly (and often, viciously) whoever made it, and I never hear any of them claim that he is playing the victim. Yet when people across the spectrum object to the manner in which Bernie dealt with Hillary, not only do his supporters line up to defend him, try to shout down the criticism, and fervently attack those who have the nerve to question Sanders' approach, they also, true to form, go after Hillary for supposedly (wait for it . . .) "playing the gender card" and "playing the victim."
I call bullshit.
