3. Agreed. The $15/hour one is particularly curious.

Many trotted out a video that "proved" that it was voted down. Turns out, had they been paying attention, it was only an amendment that was being voted down and the $15/hour provision was already firmly in the platform.

A few people rode that one for the past two days to the tune of hundreds of posts. Some are still posting about it, even after it's become clear that the process was misrepresented from the start.

That being said, I'm not too worried about it. In a way, I'm glad that some alleged "Bernie" provisions made it into the platform, because it blunts any claims that his representatives were ignored in the process. It's pretty clear that everyone was involved.
