11. Yes, a guy wrote an op-ed attempt to shame Bernie Sanders supporters which was published

in the AOL owned news aggregator and blog (AOL in turn owned by mega corporation, Verizon - a company whose striking workers Bernie Sanders supports). All corporate owned media are publishing such moralizing, shaming articles aimed at undermining Bernie Sanders' support. No surprise and not effective. I have to say, though, that the writer went for bonus rounds in this screed, thundering from the pulpit of faux righteousness that "the awesome legacy (Sanders) could have is dangerously close to being destroyed by his ego and selfishness." Oh, man. It's the ridiculousness of that statement that is truly awesome. It also sounds like something that Verizon itself could have written.
