Are we really going to have not one, but two Kremlin-backed major party nominees in 2020, America? One isn’t enough? We need to wake up!

U.S. intel and Robert Mueller warned that the Kremlin has supported and continues to support Trump and Sanders. It’s also been obviously observable on social media for anyone paying attention. Both men have longstanding connections to and sympathies for Moscow. These are facts.

In 2016, too many Republican leaders and voters understood that Moscow was backing Trump, but they were happy to let it happen because he was “their guy.” Now too many Democrats are doing the same. “Who cares if the Russians are backing Bernie? We support him too,” they say.

If the Kremlin is supporting your candidate, it’s because it sees your candidate as a means of weakening America and strengthening itself. If you find yourself supporting such candidate, it’s time to take a step back, learn why and choose someone else.

Russia supports Bernie because—at the most basic level—he represents one polar end of the our political spectrum. By supporting Trump and Bernie, the Russians help divide the major parties and Americans generally to such a degree that we can no longer defend or govern ourselves.

But that’s not the only reason Moscow supports Bernie. It knows that he has long-held sympathy for destructive economic systems, including Soviet communism as his own public statements demonstrate.

While most Democrats just want stronger social programs and something done about income inequality, Bernie actually prefers real socialism, government control of industry. Don’t believe me? Read the DSA’s website in which they refer aspirationally to ending private enterprise.

Also, Bernie consistently finds a reason to either vote against Russia sanctions, including the most important economic tool against Putin’s regime, the Magnitsky Act, or to miss the vote all together. He always has some excuse, but the pattern is clear and it means something.

Bernie Sanders is the Democrats’ Donald Trump. Kremlin-backed. Moscow sympathizing. Divisive. Deceptive and unaccountable. Exploitative of Americans’ challenges. A more unifying alternative must be chosen.

I don't see any evidence that Sanders has any sympathy for the Putin regime; he's gone so far as to describe it as a major threat to progressive policies and values.

What I do see is evidence that Moscow amplified
#BernieorBust sentiment to weaken HRC in 2016, and views selective support for pro-Bernie messaging in 2020 as a way of weakening the Democratic party and strengthening Trump. - 2 more replies
