Because the question has come up a couple times, here's the short version: By September 2016, if not earlier, Bernie knew that Russia was using his followers to spread disinformation about Hillary:

Hillary began warning about Russian interference during the campaign, especially in the famous "puppet" comment at the last debate in October 2016:

And Bernie said nothing. He could have corroborated Hillary's story because he knew it was going on. But he didn't. He didn't say anything to anyone. And then he later lied about it:

Bernie knew the Russians were interfering in the election. His own people saw it happening. And he said nothing. And after the election, he continued spreading self-serving narratives without ever mentioning Russia.

In fact, he continued to downplay the importance of Russian interference until he could no longer credibly do so:

To be clear: Bernie ignored an attack on this country and on a fellow Democrat because it didn't suit his narrative. Because admitting the Russians had boosted hims would have been bad for Bernie. He put self-interest before the country and the truth.

So rather than running around screeching "vote blue no matter who," maybe try doing everything you can to make sure this unfit, self-absorbed quisling never gets anywhere near the White House.
