@considertom @TomSteyer @ZellaQuixote @sparkle_trump Next up, we have @_feel_the_bern_, an IFTTT bot that clones @BernieSanders tweets. Like @considertom, it links an empty website instead of the website of the candidate it is supposedly promoting. No big scary "hazardous site ahead" warnings for this one, though.

Beginning with its first tweet in February 2015 and continuing through the present day, this account diligently copies @MikeBloomberg's Twitter feed.
