Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumWhat was the goal of the "Bernie takes oil money also" meme?
If they are trying to paint some sort of false equivalency then the paid speeches and advocating fracking all over the world negates that...and then some.

(26,549 posts)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.

(3,343 posts)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"

(8,352 posts)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.
