have to do is look at a few of Lockhart's other tweets to see that he knows plural nouns aren't formed with an apostrophe.

Typos happen a lot on Twitter, with even the most literate people, including professional writers.

So, unless you never make typos yourself and believe that's true of other people, it's silly to say that Lockhart "lacks credibility" because of a typo.

And btw, you see so many typos on Twitter because the platform doesn't allow you to edit a tweet. It has to be deleted and redone, and most people won't bother for a trivial typo.

This most recent complaint about Bernie, along with all the other petty complaints, seem of such minor concern. It seems it is more to do with the fact that people who years ago once voted for Bernie may vote in this upcoming election too.

It's not like Bernie is a Nazi or is being impeached. It's not like we have a facist wannabe dick-tater and his Slovenian Sex Worker in partnership with a known Russian murderer applauding and cheering on these petty complaints and smears to divide Democratic voters.
