Bernie Supporters: Childish, Ungrateful, Violent Millennials; Bernie: Egomaniac [View all]

In answering too many posts today, I think I've inferred the core narrative from Hillary's campaign machine. The thread title says it all.

The problem is that these stereotypes don't match reality, particularly the part about Bernie doing this for some kind of ego gratification. It just doesn't resonate because it isn't true.

Please discuss.
