8. Because Bernie did split the vote

Certainly during the primary and the spill over during the 2016 GE. If you recall, Hillary's data was breached during the primary. It was breached by the Sanders' campaign.

This is not to raise hackles or replay the 2016 election but to realize that Dems and Dem-leaning Indies were played from all sides. Stein's votes also ultimately ended up helping the Trumpster, particularly in those electoral states where The Donald won by razor thin margins. And, of course, there's a photo of Stein sharing dinner with Mike Flynn, several oligarchs and Putin himself.

Coincidence? I doubt it. Btw, what happened to all those donated funds to Stein's organization to recount the vote?? How much recounting actually was done?

Pissing off and/or suppressing voters who would have likely voted for Clinton is how they influenced the electorate leading up to Election Day, hacking people's minds with disinformation, stirring as much suspicion and hatred as possible with bullshit narratives that were amplified by Russian bots and trolls on social media, then micro-targeted with voter's information illegally obtained. All this with the helping hands of American co-consprators with lots of tainted money and a win-at-all-cost mentality. Bannon wanted a tool to change America into his own image. These are the tool(s) coming back to bite these weasels in the ass. As for the Russians? They wanted the sanctions lifted and sow as much chaos as possible in the US and across Western democracies. Because . . . it works for them and their money-laundering, mobbed up oligarchs.

Bottom line? We were all played. Badly.

This is the beginning, methinks, of the Great Unravelling. Pieces of the puzzle, the intricate plan to defraud our electoral system.
