Letter from a friend: “ I like aspects of Bernie’s policies apart from his demagogue delivery. He is seen by young Americans including many intellectuals as the only hope. This I fully understand and accept. Now read on....1/
“Was horrified to hear from “sources” last week how much micro-targeting the Russians are doing to support Bernie, (not coming from Bernie by design just the GRU mircro-targeting machine.) “2/
“ Worse - this micro-targeting has effectively become part of the zeitgeist of Bernie supporters. Part of that micro targeting has become demonising of Pete Buttegeig. (A three strand attack now quoted as gospel by Bernie supporters.)& to a lesser extent to Elizabeth Warren” 3/
“The Young Turks? Seems it’s the equivalent of Trump TV for Bernie supporters - and it’s busy putting a hit on Pete Buttegeig at the moment as he is coming up (prisoner of corporates, 2 years at McKinzie, drip, drip.) “4/
“ Saw Buttegeig take on Pompeo yesterday in Meet the Press - he’d persuade anyone on a jury and without bombast. It’s worth an eyes wide open watch to see for oneself without the zeitgeist spin”5/
“there are far more insidious manoeuvres happening than most of us,the hyper informed, know. We need to know & when we do,we must expose.If the Dem vote is suppressed again via splintering - if the youth vote is suppressed again by diehard Bernie supporters, we will get Trump. “
“Once GRU is fully engaged as it was in 2016 - we get Trump and Brexit.They ultimately harmonise w/Parscale’s messaging for Trump when the primaries are over. Suppressing youth vote (Bernie supporters) was a third of the strategy which defeated Hillary brought us Trump.)”7/
“ Currently, GRU are fully engaged in demonising candidates who can beat Trump and in supporting those candidates who despite good policies and sincerity, can’t persuade swing voters in essential battle-ground states not to vote again for Trump. ”8/
“ That should tell us something if we can keep our eyes wide open as well as our minds. It’s not about one’s favourite candidate. It’s about the candidate who can defeat Trump. That’s any candidate GRU is NOT supporting and is conversely demonising. “9/
