"I see Mother Russia has made an appearance"

First of all, I am not on Twitter... all I know about it is what other people post and links I have followed to see comments on any thing VP Biden..

Some of those comments are so brutal.. and I have seem some from the Bernie Sanders support team who have had just horrid conspiracy comments.

I have never ever been a Sanders supporter. Let me get that out there too.

I was making some commentary about said same people to someone who turned out to be a Sanders supporter. Very nice person by the way.

Let me just say what they said. There are some real screwballs in a portion of the supporters. And later we can all discuss whether they got a heads up from Sen Sanders because he did not bring that hammer down. But there is truly a difference.

Said same person who informed me that yes they did support Sanders.. also said that they have seen some strange things on Twitter also. and their thought on it was.."I see Mother Russia has made an appearance" that.. that would be the comments they would leave.

Sometimes I just have to share what people in RL are saying as opposed to all of us on line.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Bernie supporting followers, keep retweeting Mother Russia's appearances, with comments that compliment and amplify the propaganda from Mother Russia.

And Bernie doesn't miss a chance to plead ignorance as to their activities.

Can't blame Russia when his own campaign staff engages in that repulsive behavior. Besides, I know Bernie supporters in real life, the ones I know believe the conspiracies. Jacobin, The Intercept, and TYT is all they watch and read.
