You can forget about Bernie running for President in 2020

134. Funny, because Bernie's platform would do a hell of a lot to make

the lives of Americans measurably better. That's why I supported him. I want healthcare and expanded Social Security. I want postsecondary training to be subsidized like K-12.

Besides, with Mueller's move today, I'm thinking that some strong protections will be in place.

Consider this: What if most Americans actually read each candidate's position on the issues, research and think through what those positions will look like on the ground, then made their decision on which candidate to support based on this research instead of relying on what other people might be saying on Facebook? We'd have our Republic back just like that.

See, most of the Russian stuff was bots on social media saying stuff to sway the arguments. Interesting that some are saying Russia tried to help Bernie, because I can remember weeping at the (over and over and over and over and over) false memes that Bernie is racist, that social justice is more important than economic justice. I cannot help but wonder how it would have turned out had these lies not become memes and stolen away people who would surely have benefited....well, enough said.

But I'm just not buying the Russia supporting anyone but Trump theory. Disruption? Yes, you bet. Saying controversial things? Sure. Lying? Absolutely. But to my mind that was the goal all along - to cause us JUST LIKE IN THIS POST to mistrust anything anyone tells us, or any candidate because...what if?

Gods what a HUGE victory for Putin if people buy into what you're saying - no offense meant, but this is the absolute wrong direction to go.
