Actually the facts on the record are 1) the Russians helped Trump, Bernie and Jill in 2016 2) they’re helping the first two again in 2020 (plus Tulsi) and 3) Bernie knows it but is still pretending it’s not a BFD even though his campaign was named in the Mueller Report. 4) Welp.
It ain’t my fault if your fave is a Russian asset.
Guess what? We tried to tell y’all.
Receipts ICYMI: #WeBeenKnew
Also it’s not cute how the MSM’s suddenly breathlessly reporting on Russia helping Bernie as if Mueller didn’t already break this news 2 years ago or they haven’t been willfully following the same ‘16 Putin playbook by softballing his coverage to ensure his frontrunner status. 🙄
He should’ve been shamed off the trail before he ever sputtered onto it again. The fact that he wasn’t is a testament to how brazenly complicit/willfully negligent American media is and how much they’ll overlook for the sake of a contrived horse race & maintenance of status quo.
Nope, you’re not experiencing deja vu, he’s just doing the exact same saboteur shit all over again b/c he’s been granted immunity, legitimacy, campaign cash, and bottomless free passes from his sycophants and enablers. Just like Trump. Go fucking figure. #WeTriedToTellYall
I’m guessing the few hundred folk who unfollowed me overnight did so because of this and other assorted Bernie threads I RTed, so I’m just gonna keep adding to it in hopes that the remaining Bros, Broettes and bots take that same hike. Govern yourselves accordingly....
Y’all wouldn’t have to disavow the receipts in the present day if you’d have just listened and learned when women and POC gave you the 411 a long time ago. Start with examining why you closed your ears and eyes to us and called our warnings “identity politics” in 2016.
It ain’t my fault if you believed horse shit from Russia b/c it was coming from the mouths of White men who share your privileged beliefs. It didn’t work on me & I STILL don’t feel sorry for you b/c we tried to tell you ALL OF THIS SHIT but NO. I STILL don’t trust your judgment.
Some folk are so conditioned to mute any commentary about Bernie that they’ve missed all the problematic patterns and most of the facts. They’ve relied so heavily on unreliable sources that 5 years later they still don’t know what Tad Devine and Paul Manafort have in common.
While I can totally understand and appreciate the desire to not wanna talk or hear about Bernie, the problem is our collective avoidance of the fuckery associated with his brand is why Russia’s STILL helping him and knows he’s an asset in their ploy to keep Trump in the WH.
If defending Bernie is the cross you’ve chosen to bear in life, go right ahead but the absolution you’ve given him doesn’t erase the fact that he no longer has plausible deniability about Russia promoting him now or in 2016 because Mueller let that cat outta the bag in 2018. 🐈
IDK for certain why a 78 year old man who just had a heart attack and knows good and damn well that Russian interference done in his name threw the election to Trump in 2016 would have the gumption to do the shit all over again, but I know I STILL see no remorse from him in 2020.
Seriously, ponder the reality that Kamala’s campaign was essentially rendered DOA from day 1 b/c of “she’s a cop” propaganda spread by Bros, Broettes and bots in service of Russia by way of Bernie whose campaign, supporters and rhetoric are explicitly named in the Mueller Report.
It’s not a hypothetical question or abstract concept anymore, folks. We’ve already seen how they rolled with Hillary and how they’re rolling with the rest this time around. The tactics have been honed while y’all were avoiding talking about it and unfollowing us b/c we were.
I’m tired of folk pretending they don’t see the shit and I’m tired of the other folk who keep legitimizing their willful ignorance and denial. I’m tired of the MSM giving all of the above a gigantic platform to keep doing Putin’s work for him while accusing us of being divisive.
I’m tired of watching y’all wring your hands about how boring, bought off and White the primary is but still refusing to connect the dots between the state of affairs on both sides of the aisle and the ONGOING, widely documented interference from Russia on Trump/Bernie’s behalf.
Meanwhile this is why Hillary keeps rightfully reading Bernie for filth even though she personally stands to gain absofuckinglutely nothing from it, she’s trying to save us from these fools again but they won’t dare let a woman w/an army of Black voters behind her tell them SHIT.
Y’all aren’t shocked or surprised, you’re just hard-headed.
All that said, I don’t even blame Bernie for his defensive/accusatory response to these revelations. I imagine it’s infuriating to fathom how the MSM built him up through IA and NH only to hit him with a February surprise that’s 2 years old when he was hoping we’d all forgotten.
Defending Bernie wouldn’t have become y’all’s struggle and Bernie wouldn’t have become Putin’s 2nd favorite asset if he didn’t possess the hubris, arrogance, entitlement and lack of remorse to re-insert himself into a party that he doesn’t belong to but wants to dismantle.

I wasn’t fooled in ‘16, I’m not fooled in ‘20 and I’ll never become a fool for Bernie/Trump/Russia’s sake. You can’t stop me.

The main reason folk feel pressured to muzzle themselves and give Bernie free passes he doesn’t deserve for this issue and everything else is they believe the manufactured narrative that says he’s inevitable which incidentally is exactly what Putin/Trump want them to believe. 🙃
Said inevitability narrative was damaging in 2016 but nowhere near as damaging as it is now because then he only had 1 extremely capable and formidable opponent but now his opposition is split umpteen ways. Silence and fake approval of his patterns won’t reform him or protect us.
It’s 1 thing for you to not personally give a shit that this man appropriated MLK/the civil rights movement in an attempt to bamboozle the Democratic base into voting for him, but it’s entirely another for you to expect US to start overlooking his active measures now. GTFOHWTBS.
The way Bernie supporters so flippantly dismiss the Russian help he’s getting indicates they either don’t understand or flat out just DGAF that his “helpers” sew racist/sexist division by posing as Black civil rights activists who support Bernie & BLM. 🙃 thedailybeast.com/exclusive-secr…
