(19,060 posts)Russian and GOP trolls trying to sow the seeds of discontent in the party that's going to defeat Trump.
We will unite the party! Bernie fans are smarter than this, they know what's on the line and will be a part of taking our country back from the jaws of fascism.

(45,001 posts)We heard the same stuff from the Sanders campaign last election. And continue to hear it out of their own mouths and tweets today. It seems to be an unfortunate yet defining characteristic. I know there are many smart decent Sanders supporters and teammates who would never stoop to this. But the few that do have loud voices and garner the most attention because it seems they're never actually told to stop.

(15,084 posts)This happened in 2016 too. A young man that I knew very casually (from the church choir, believe it or not!) was a big time Bernie supporter and he posted all kinds of absurd stuff about "Killery" on FB that was clearly generated by Russian bots. I'm not on FB any more, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's doing the same raging this time.

The Polack MSgt
(13,188 posts)He is a prominent spokesman for Sen. Sanders and has been since 2015.
To call him a Republican operative or a Russian bot is misguided at best.
People who accuse Bernie supporters of being GOP or RU Bots are not usually welcome in DU.
For good reason
Mr. King is furthering Sen. Sanders campaign's interests in a manner that he believes to be beneficial to those interests.

(19,060 posts)It's not just politics to spread a blatant falsehood like this, and I hope Rachel makes an example out of it on her show tonight.

The Polack MSgt
(13,188 posts)Was posed as a QUESTION on the Maddow show, as a tease going in to commercial.
So yeah, I agree that Mr. King is being deliberately misleading.
But my point was that he is not parroting RU/GOP talking points, he is mischaracterizing a segment of Rachel's show.
And he is doing that to support the spin from the Sanders campaign that there are dark underhanded conspiracies aligned against Senator Sanders

(32,640 posts)That would have been simple to have confirmed it before swallowing it whole, perhaps because of confirmation bias, and avoided this.
But it appears that he wanted to believe she said this, and that was more important to him.

(8,817 posts)that the Republican owned media needs to make this into a horse race to stimulate viewership and their profits......
And that there are countless people who want their 20 minutes of fame, despite the damage done to another person or damage done to our Democracy.
Good God Almighty, the TrumpHumpers have 50 million of them out there, banging away night and day, revealing their un-believeable political ignorance.......(or actually their ignorance on almost everything, for that matter) Pretty pathetic......

(6,228 posts)Folks need to stop thinking folks are dragging voters to the polls to vote for Biden. Hello? They want to beat trump and not take a risky chance. Biden running with a strong progressive Dem woman will make a lot of folks happy. Winning in November is all that matters. Folks need to chill. Young folks are poised to take over the Dem Party before you know it. Boomer votes will still be needed, but young folks will be in control of the Dem Party. Too bad they don't know this and think attacking the voters they will need is the way to go. BTW Rachel is the best!

(7,431 posts)Assuming that Biden gets the nomination (which isn't a dead-on certainty), either Senator would be appropriate. But that means that the Dems would have to immediately replace the VP with another Senate Dem, since it's best to win the Senate as well as the WH.

BigOleDummy
(2,270 posts)that make me question Mr. Sanders about just about everything. I mean, does he endorse lying as long as its for his benefit? I love his message/policies BUT if this is the kind of people he attracts can we really trust him to pick the right people if he wins? I mean..... if he can't control the messaging from his OWN campaign can he be trusted to control the reins of government? We already have a out of control government with our current W.H. occupant are we prepared for more of the same? Sadly Mr.Sanders is crippling his own image and campaign with things like this. And YES, Mr. Sanders does need to be held accountable for his supporters imo. But what do we hear? Crickets.
