(2,113 posts)And the Russian trolls and bots on twitter have been pushing Bernie just as hard as they push Trump. His legitimate supporters don't seem to notice or realize they have been getting manipulated all this time into attacking, bashing and being overly critical and even at times dishonest about other candidates on social media. Those who didn't support him noticed it and that is why there is the level of animosity related to Sanders. He hasn't spoken up and that comes across as highly sketchy. I think as people who support him begin to see this same thing they begin to move to other candidates. There are plenty of better choices...ones that Russian bots and trolls aren't pushing.
For the record...if Bernie had ever actually come out and spoken to his supporters about how they were targeted then I think a lot of people would have given him the benefit of the doubt. He hasn't, though, and there is really only one reason that makes sense as to why he wouldn't. Ask yourself what that might be.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
