(17,834 posts)24. Dunno.There was a Time When Pointing Out Tulsi's Flaws...
would get a post flagged for attacking Democrats even when Tulsis most popular posts were when she was attacking establishment Democrats. We now know that Russian bots were pushing social media posts that attacked Hillary and other Democrats from the left. The real test, however, is whether an elected sells out and begins to cater to this attention. Ed Shultz sold out. RFK sold out. Tulsi sold out because there are benefits and rewards for progressives who are willing to weaken opposition to right wingers by attacking Democrats from the left even in the face of a facist threat like the current Republican Party.
