I don't want to refight the primaries. But I have questions

5. The news reports I am seeing all seem to say (for example, Rachel said it last night)

that Bernie supporters were a prime target for Russian bots. The bots stoked the hatred and sowed a lot of lies about her in Bernie spaces. They provided a lot of links to stories about horrible acts committed by Hillary that never happened, which accounts for a lot of the JPR-style Hillary hatred. And not for nothing, but sites like JPR are very closely tied to RT, getting a lot of their links and ideas from there.

So yes. I would be very surprised if some of those DU users who were so very vocal during the election but who we haven't heard from since were not bots.

These people were not messing around, and they had all the resources they could ever need to create chaos.
