Bernie backers' attacks on Democrats infuriate the party

128. I am constantly amazed

It appears to me that the bots are once again in action and we are seeing a figment of a large campaign to discredit progressive ideas and split the party.

We know that the Russians interfered with the last election. We now know that ads by Russians were bought and placed on Facebook. We know that Steve Bannon and the Mercers used special software to analyze and "target" people with bots designed to sway our thoughts and put us in a position to not trust anyone. Why would anyone think that this has not continued?

I'm particularly concerned about Steve Bannon and the Mercers and what they are up to in their attempts to destroy the country. Cripes! I just read that the Koch brothers are going to be working to help get a DACA law passed to keep these kids in our country. I feel like I am on the planet and trapped in a war of the elites to see who can have the most power, money, control. . . .everything.

Fear is a very big motivator. You can either give in to it or you can push back against it. We need to be working together to get this country moving away from the fascism that appears to be taking over. We need to allow ideas--good or bad--to surface and determine if using the ideas would be good or bad for our country. It's a messy process and WE need to stop and think.

We. need. to. be. working. together.

And we need to remember that politicians are politicians.
