Sorry man but this is a softball. Anyone who supports socialism fell for it
As democrats plan for 2018 and beyond, they would be wise to keep Sanders at distance

Interesting/funny/not surprising that Desh doesn't think any democrat would support someone other than Hillary unless they were tricked. And five democrats/liberals on this board claimed to support Bernie in the primaries and not one will tell Desh they weren't fooled by the Russians, they actually supported him.
I know this is a "team" sport but still. Not one democrat will stand up for themselves on this?

What are you talking about? I'm a socialist .. I didn't fall for it.
Members of the DSA, Democratic Socialists of America didn't fall for it.
WSW, World Socialist Website doesn't even think Sanders is a real socialist.
Is Bernie Sanders a socialist?

I'm afraid that you, like most Americans, don't have a clue about what socialism is or what the movement supports.

Many websites producing anti-Clinton fake news were based in Albania and Macedonia. A pro-Sanders Facebook page with nearly 90,000 followers was run by an Albanian IT expert who, when interviewed by the Huffington Post, appeared to speak very little English, although his page consistently published polished English prose.
Mattes, a former Senate investigator, did some digging into the sudden phenomenon of eastern European Sanders enthusiasts. He found a spike in activity on the anonymous browsing tool Tor in Macedonia that coincided with the launch of the fake news campaign, which he believes could represent Russian handlers contacting potential east European hosts to help them set up automated websites.
“This is a cost-effective hands-free method with no blowback to you if you are in St Petersburg creating this product,” Mattes said. He argued that if the pro-Sanders websites in east Europe had been primarily motivated by maximising clicks they would have moved on to another viral subject.

Not confused at all. I listened to plenty of KPFA free speech radio during the primaries enough to know not all Bernie voters were ready to fully back Hillary and there were legitimate differences between the groups. Differences in a primary is nothing new of course but they also weren't something minor either.

I think you leftist morons should stand behind Maxine Waters; she is your kind of liberal jackass.

Please give us all a fact based, valid documentation where Sanders "allowed" his people to believe lies. And FYI, Sanders has been siding with the Democrats for a myriad of issues for YEARS.
He's not perfect and I have disagreements with him on some issues. But Hillary SCREWED HIM in California, and the result is Trump in office.

Russian Bots Targeted Swing Voters
Watts' testimony bolstered reports that Russian intelligence spread disinformation using bots on social media throughout the 2016, and that those efforts were rather sophisticated. *
"Today, you can create the content, gain the audience, build the bots, pick out the election, and even the voters that are valued the most – in swing states – and actually insert the right content in a deliberate period. They pre-planned it, they were a year and a half out, they're doing it today in European elections," Watts said. He added that these methods weren't only used during the general election, but during the Democratic primary as well, when he says bots targeted Bernie Sanders supporters. "They play all sides."
