I just got a, request for a contribution, email from Bernie. How this staunch Hillary supporter got

on his email list I don't know. My guess is from when he breached the firewall between Hillary and his mailing list in 2016.

I tried to send a civil no reply but I could not remain civil.

I don't think he is going to get much help from 2016 Hillary supporters. That primary still leaves bad memories in my mind.

But I will NOT be a part of it...Someday it will all be out in the open who is who, but it will of course be too late then.

It's doubtful anyone will read your reply; all you can really do is unsubscribe. I don't think he's going to get support from even a lot of his own 2016 supporters - I was one, but things have changed a lot and I'm no longer even slightly interested in him. I unsubscribed to his emails a long time ago.

but the email could have come from a variety of sources not just the one you suspect.

If he is the nominee I will certainly support his campaign as I have found Bernie Sanders way ahead of many though the years on issues that I find important such as income inequality.

provided your email address to make a political donation, fill out a survey, sign a petition, etc. then your email address was likely sold as part of an email list to Bernie's campaign. All political candidates and organizations do this. I receive donation requests from candidates and organizations I don't recall supporting too.

I got an email from the Sanders campaign after the firewall breach that he clearly took advantage of. I promptly replied that I was demanding to be deleted from their email list, and that I never wanted to hear from them again and I didn't. But it's happening again?

It could have nothing to do with 2016. I have occasionally gotten email from Republican's because I donated money to a cause like restoration of a landmark, or bought something that fell within the zone of a supporter of theirs.

I would not get worked up. The delete function is in email for a reason, then go to your trash folder and delete all within that.

I got one from Mike Johnston and Maggie Toulouse Oliver, her I had to google. I was never aware of either. I'm surprised DUers aren't more aware of things like that. It must be easier to go to a conspiracy though.
