Bernie Supporters vs Hilary Supporters: Seen through Each Other's Eyes.

How Clinton Supporters See Sanders Supporters:

Starry-eyed, holier than thou dreamers, who have no idea how real politics works in the real world, who arrogantly dismiss those who disagree with them as morally compromised, sellouts to corporate america, wolves in sheep clothing, out to destroy the progressive movement from within, while doing the bidding of their true masters.

How Sanders Supporters see Clinton Supporters.

Defeatists, cowardly sell-outs, wolves in sheep clothing, corporate whores pretending to be progressives. Like the house negroes of old, they suck up to the master while getting nothing but crumbs from his table, while arrogantly dismissing all who disagree and demand more as starry-eyed holier than thou dreamers, who have no idea how real world politics work in the real world.

I'm figuring someone else came up with this description.

Right now, I'm having a hard time with half the qualities put forth on each set.

Which is why we want to see Sanders as president.

As with all stereotypes, there is a grain of truth behind each of these. We tend to focus on the extremes.
