My personal theory is that in 2016, while there were 'russian trolls' feeding disinformation and propaganda to Bernie supporters, there were others who also were feeding disinformation and propaganda to Clinton supporters, and to other candidates supporters. Why only create dissension from just one direction? Once they had weaponized us against each other, they didn't need to do anything much else to feed the fire, it fed itself. A lot of people who see themselves as being too smart to fall for it have, and here we are. These people are never going to admit they've been duped. Only their enemy's supporters have been duped, and are therefore unworthy and should be shunned.
I supported Bernie in the last primary as did most of my friends, but every one of us willingly voted for Hillary in the general. I supported Liz Warren this primary and will happily vote for Joe. But the way some here talk to each other is ugly and does no good to our cause.
I will be surprised if this is not alerted on and removed, because people don't like unpleasant truths.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
