For those watching the Clinton-Gabbard spat, for Russia, yes they are doing it again, and yes, it's working again.

The Kremlin’s Strategy for the 2020 U.S. Election: Secure the Base, Split the Opposition
Americans may be on to the Kremlin’s tricks now, but Putin is getting a helping hand this time around: Conservative media and even the White House are spreading disinfo for him.

1. those are the same helping hands they had in 2016, too

2. The number of postings on this here has to be in the double digits.

If i look at the major online news sites like CNN, NBC, ABC, WAPO, NYT this story is nowhere to be seen on the main pages.

Gabbard was polling at 1% . Her comments in that debate would have been ignored and forgotten. Hillary responding gave it some legs and any remaining turmoil seems to be from people beating a deadhorse.

3. HRC knew how Russian intelligence would work it when

she issued her warning to America, and Democrats in particular, that Russia was developing a LW third-party candidacy to help reelect a Republican president.

Ignorance is not safety.

4. Agreed. She did a service to us. Stein voters in 2016 helped put trump in office...

so we don't need a repeat of that. She didn't mention a name but Gabbard outed herself with her reaction—on FOX of all places.

Guilty conscience?

[Hortensis]

5. Yes. Senate investigation has established the Russia's promotion

of Stein was even more extensive than we've thought. Given what's been revealed, we should assume anyone who ever said anything positive about her or negative about Democrats on social media was probably specifically targeted by Russia.

All of our black members would have been. Russia especially focused on developing resentments and divisions between black Democrats and the rest of the party. Our AA forum here lost of a lot of angry people, and that has to have been part of it -- including harassment from supposedly white Democratic posters, as well as repetitive direct attacks that successfully got some of them banned.
