In reply to the discussion: So many on the left tried to convince us that this Russia story was bogus [View all]yardwork
(61,588 posts)12. Democracy is up against a war on two fronts.
The propaganda aimed at right wingers is fairly obvious except to those who are being brainwashed. The propaganda aimed at progressives, with the intent to divide and weaken all opposition to the hard right Republicans, is less obvious. It is highly effective, though. I know some who are completely brainwashed into thinking that it is somehow noble and wise to tear down the Democratic Party.
I saw a car yesterday proudly displaying a bumper sticker saying "I wrote in Bernie." I'm in a purple state. Hillary could have won here. How could anybody still think it was a good idea to vote against her.
Sad.

Those that call the Russia story a distraction or witch hunt cannot be trusted.

And remember how often they'd joke about red baiting or McCarthyism when they were here....

I remember seeing five or six threads on the pizzagate stupidity long after it was debunked

Aren't we the left? Don't we have to "sign" something to post on DU, claiming we are left?

Not so many. Some, sure. Do you also thank the gods for millions of leftists who stood with Hillary?
