62. In DU's own rules, they say that Bernie must be regarded as a Democrat as far as the rules go here

I actually agree with you though. That Putins troll army infiltrated and poisoned Bernie FB groups etc... with fake incendiary accusations and insults against the other candidates. Both during the last primary and the one before it. Which caused a few in here to lose their minds. And the blame went all towards the good and honest Bernie supporters here on DU. When most of that was Putin's trolls, and probably MAGA trolls too, and perhaps a small number of the less bright, and angry, of Bernie's supporters, who were already on the edge from leaked emails and stories about the DNC leaning on the scales for Hillary in the primary before this.

BTW. I find it odd we can't discuss moments in the history of our own party. Warts and all.
