Always a shame to see a supposed elder statesman and key figure in the party spreading and platforming disunity at a time like this. Absolutely disqualifying! Why won't Democrats condemn? /s

So to be clear, the order of events here is:

1: Hillary proposes a policy in 1993
2: Sanders proposes that same policy 28 years later
3: Sanders gets hailed as a revolutionary policy genius pushing the party to the left
4: Someone points out that Hillary deserves some credit since this was her idea
5: Private citizen Hillary Clinton likes the tweet
6: Socialist Twitter has a huge dramatic freak out, led by Briahna Joy Gray, SocialistMMA and Ryan Knight claiming KHive is working with Hillary Clinton to put them on a "hit list"
7: sawx brings stupid Rose Twitter drama to Atlas as he always does

#7 is a completely fair criticism. Although I very much oppose the three figures mentioned, I'm not above posting dumb Twitter drama onto here.

Although I near-exclusively do it to make the anti-Bernie crowd on here look like hypocrites. Which works every time.

This woman tried to pass some version of Universal Healthcare in the 90's and for this great sin she's been the enemy of the rightwing ever since, who even convinced a great deal of Democrats to hate her. It's pretty amazing. And in her failure to do this she was instrumental in passing the most affordable healthcare for children we have because the GOP freaked out and said let's at least agree to this.

This is the sanest take in the thread. Putting the ****posting and hypocrisy-baiting aside, Hillary has been a trailblazer in healthcare reform and it's a damn shame that the GOP held her back.

You say this but I just got a suspicious package from Chappaqua in the mail today.

I’m no fan of her but how is this a shot at Bernie exactly?

If you look at the actual tweet she retweeted, it was a very clear shot at Bernie. I actually believe key figures in the party shouldn't be platforming attacks on Democrats, but it's not something that matters in the long run. At the end of the day, the only people who will care about this in a week are the terminally Online, and it doesn't change the progress that Hillary has made.

tl;dr: We can praise Bernie for the work he's doing now and Hillary for the work she has done to get us to this point.
