WaPo: Bernie Sanders briefed by U.S. officials that Russia is trying to help his presidential campaign
- Thread starter chadskin
- Start date
Mind you, while taking care to run the playbook and create disinformation so that we can both sides the relevant election interference...the current govt refuses to pass laws to secure elections and fires people that raise questions about it/contradict the current presidency.
So tired.

If Trump wins, Putin has his puppet in office for another 4 years.
If Sanders wins, Trump gets to launch an investigation, led by AG Barr, into whether Russia helped him "steal" the election. Constitutional crisis time?
Either way, Putin wins.

Would be a 200 IQ move by Sanders to tie his more rabid supporters to Russia
This way he can deflect whenever the topic comes up, and his more ardent supporters wouldn't care at all if people consider them Russian Trolls
As long as they continue to go hard online

They do the same with EU countries. When NATO is more polarized, there is more room for Russia to play.
He already did that at the last debate and the quote from him in the article basically says as much:
Bernie and Trump is the ideal election for Putin considering the alternatives, I think that's pretty obvious
he wants you because you're destroying america you fucking ape
I think it's also that they want more polarization and division in the US so that nothing ever gets done and we're fighting ourselves
It makes no common sense that Russia would help Trump and Bernie.
Misinformation as fuck.
This is just so the Trump-Russia aide can be discredited.

No, it's because they want Trump to be President. Bernie is not as strong in general as some posters on this board may think
I mean they were pushing the whole "DNC rigged it for Hillary" crap in 2016 via WikiLeaks/Assange/Trump, so yeah.
Vladislav Surkov - Wikipedia
Former senior advisor/aide to Putin - credited with a lot of the strategy that has kept him in power.
Bernie's response is better, but I still don't like this is happening and think he should more forcefully reject the help.
I agree, but you are probably going to get lit up by passionate people. They did the same with him in 2016, primarily to fracture the left and to deny Clinton, because they properly understood that Clinton properly understood them and the danger they pose to the global order.
Also, people should consider this:
Politico - Down-ballot Republicans watch with glee as Sanders gains steam
I would assume they favor of any candidate that is less interventionist than previous administrations. Additionally even if that isn't really a big issue, just by doing this they know it will further Trump's election bid, and/or sow discord on the Democrat side in general.
Probably also reasonable to think that a Bernie ticket could have a negative impact on some state races, bit who knows.

It's not "supporting Sanders" in the traditional sense you're assuming, as how they're supporting Sanders matters. The narratives being pushed in 2016 were very much designed to destabilize Dems and get people to stay home via bullshit "Sanders was robbed" crap. So it's "support", but support in the same way they were setting up fake BLM and anti-B:LM rallies via facebook.
