That's not a particularly good assumption when it comes to Clinton's supporters. Despite all their claims of knowing "how things really work", they do not.

That meme was a reflexive counter-attack, because they could not come up with any way to say it was OK for Clinton. So they tried "Sanders does it too!!!!!" in the hope that it would stop people from talking about it.

The goal is to say "see your candidate sucks too"

Which is not really winning slogan.


"Vote Hillary Clinton in 2016 - because your candidate sucks too"

the one about Bernie receiving money from foreign donors, of course when you read the article the donors where duly reported and the money sent back, unlike HRC and her PACs

elections for decades with the LOTE approach, then it only follows that eventually the same LOTE approach will be used in the primaries.

Clinton is trying to paint Sanders as just as corrupt, and therefore, a vote for her is the LOTE. This weekend alone I have seen more posts about how Sanders is a liar, a con artist, a corrupt hypocrite, and the coup de gras, Brock filed an ethics violation against his campaign with the FEC.
