So looking at these, it doesn't take a genius to see that they're super sexist. Bernie is automatically assumed to be knowledgeable while Hillary is an idiot. The man who created the meme argued that it was not a gendered attack on Hillary, but rather an attack on her "trying too hard to be hip." Considering that politicians since the beginning of time have "tried to be hip" and Hillary is the one getting mocked for it, that would seem to indicate that even his explanation is a gendered attack.

Now, I like Sanders. But the real problem here is that, juxtaposed with Clinton's imagined stupidity and calculating nature, is the suggestion (BASED ON ABSOLUTELY NOTHING) that Bernie is cool and smart about pop culture while only Hillary stumbles in that area. If that wasn't clearly patently false when this meme was circulating, comments from Bernie Sanders yesterday now prove that it is. When delivering remarks to a crowd on Wednesday, Sanders called Phish one of "the great bands in this country."

Yes, obnoxious jam band Phish. I know there are people who love Phish, but the Phish fans I know usually joke about how they realize the band is goofy and annoying. One thing Phish isn't is cool. They're certainly not the type of band that screams "I'm in touch with young voters!" the way the meme always positioned Sanders. So, here's a more accurate recalibration of that meme:
