Report: Russians used Bernie Bros as unwitting agents in disinformation campaign.

216. Thankyou for your voice of reason

Some of these posts are the epitome of how victorious the Russians were. They are still falling for it. They still want to drive a wedge even deeper into the Democratic party much to the delight of Putin and his babbling puppet.

First off, Most Bernie supporters took the name Bernie Bros as an insult, (like Hillbots), as there were many women Sanders supporters as well, of all color.
We laughed at and ignored the idiotic fake news about Hillary. JPR was infiltrated by Russian trolls and Trump trolls because it was so open. It was bound to happen. But the same tired crew in here insists on painting the vast majority of those that backed Bernie at the time with being duped by the same ridiculous fake scandals that were circulated mostly on FB by the deplorable class...who were duped. On JPR you could find criticism that was directed at her policies , or lack thereof, and her uncomfortable ties to the corporate class, if you looked for those threads. That is why many here went there, to be able to dare to talk critically of the front runner or how the party was operating, and also to promote the policies that Bernie championed, all of which was ill-advisedly denied on here at the time. My gawd this place was no picnic either. The hubris was palatable at the time and if you dared to suggest she might lose you were given an extra piling on of ROTF treatment.

We were homeless. We had to take the drug dealers and russian prostitutes that came along with the only neighbourhood we could get a room at. Does anyone here actually think that anyone that supported Bernie over Hillary during the primaries that was a member of DU not only ignored our own preferred candidate's admonishments "enough about the emails", but went further and "lapped up" even more National Inquirer stuff like Hillary runs a child porn ring? lol

Yes amazing that all those fake stories just disappeared after the election. Not really, the russians had done their jobs. No one there, that was an actual Bernie Democrat cared about "HRC's dead victims"...ever. There is nothing to explain! We never cared about that BS in the first place. That is not why we drifted over there, to talk nonsense. We left to talk freely. But it was infiltrated more and more heavily until I went less and less and finally left, as at the same time DU opened up their discussion especially after the election.

Caveat: of course there were probably a few morans that before they ever heard all those fake stories had been planning to vote for Hillary for many good reasons for a long time, and then suddenly were dumb enough to fall for them and changed their minds and didn't vote at all, or voted Stein, or even voted for Trump. But that "they" is such a tiny tiny minority, if you include all of DU, that its not worth a post even. In fact it is helping to feed a monster.
