It seems pretty apparent that some of the "exuberant" Sanders supporters here are using their (alleged) support of Bernie as a cover for bashing Hillary.

Not ALL, certainly - but some, and a very vocal "some".

Sadly, it is a guise that works all too well. One need only read the posts that are nothing more than screeds against HRC, Obama, and/or the Democratic Party - which end with a vague, gratuitous "mention" of Bernie.

Think about it. If you are honestly a Sanders supporter, why would you feel any need to post an endless tirade against other Dems, candidates or otherwise, as a prelude to saying "Oh, and by the way, I support Bernie"?

Some are more obvious than others - but those who ARE obvious are VERY obvious.
