The hashtag went viral—though Twitter, whose executive chairman Omid Kordestani recently held a fundraiser for Clinton, was later accused of censoring it. As of Friday morning, the hashtag had accumulated well over 350,000 mentions.

Sanders' supporters contributed to the conversation, the Huffington Post reported, "creating the hashtag #OnlyOneBernie to contrast Sanders' perceived consistency with Clinton's supposed two-faced nature."

Remember when Bill teamed w/ Bush Sr. to rebuild NOLA, and that included demolishing public housing + privatizing the schools? #WhichHillary

Seizing on another point of comparison, reporter Shannon Pettypiece writes at Bloomberg on Friday that "few issues show the contrast [between Sanders and Clinton] better than their relationship with Wal-Mart Stores Inc., America’s biggest private employer."

"Clinton used to sit on its board," Pettypiece points out. "Sanders has used the company as a model for inequality in America—comparing the vast wealth of the Walton Family, which owns the majority of Wal-Mart, to the low income of its employees, some of whom receive government benefits like food stamps and Medicaid."
