There’s an important point that I’m seeing a lot of smart people miss, so I’m going to address it, and I really hope people will pay attention:
The Kremlin is *not* supporting Bernie because he’s a Russian asset. 1/3
1. A Bernie nomination will shake the Democratic establishment to its core. It will set up a nasty fight and leave the Dems weakened and limping into November.
2. They’ve judged that’s the best shot at Trump being reelected. 2/3
The goal is to divide. Bernie is naturally divisive towards the establishment, and has sympathetic policies to Russia.
Easy choice for Putin, but Bernie isn’t compromised.
