    1. John Stoehr's Editorial Board‏ @johnastoehr 22 Mar 2018

      1. Bernie Sanders took the spotlight Monday in a live-streamed town hall focused on inequality. The event came a couple of days after an op-ed in The Guardian in which he criticized “corporate media” for ignoring the rise of oligarchy in the US.

      2. After his presidential run, Sanders has made inequality one of his key issues. But whatever headway he makes on the subject can be partly attributed to the indirect help that he got from at least one oligarch, Robert Mercer.

      3. The secretive New York billionaire invested in the British data firm Cambridge Analytica, which according to a report in the New York Times, acquired the private information of some 50 million Facebook users in an effort to turn the 2016 election in Donald Trump’s favor.

      4. We already knew Russian operatives waged “information warfare against the United States,” per a February indictment brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. They aimed to move public opinion against Hillary Clinton, we just didn’t know how.

      6. What does that have to do with Sanders? Anything that was anti-Clinton was pro-Trump. That meant helping Sanders as well as Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

          7. According to Cambridge Analytica’s Head of Product, Matt Oczkowski, Trump voters and Sanders voters were cut from the same “psychographic” cloth:https://washingtonmonthly.com/2018/03/22/bernies-russia-problem/ …

          8. Oczkowski: For an isolated Trump-specific supporter, the three issues were #1 Law and Order, #2 Immigration and #3 Trade. And when you start to understand that profile, an isolated Trump supporter looks a lot like a Bernie Sanders supporter. It is Blue Dog Democrats.

          10. None of this is to say Sanders knew he was being helped. I don’t think he did. None of this is to say he’s in cahoots with anyone. But for the above reasons, like it or not, he got help from not only the Kremlin, but also from a secretive Republican billionaire.

          12. About that voter profile. Trump can’t accept the growing consensus that he didn’t win on his own. Sanders, I suspect, feels similarly. He wants to believe his “revolution” was a natural springing forth of rage against the prevailing order,

          13. not an illusion concocted, partly, online and under false pretenses. To accept that Russian operatives encouraged people to “Feel the Bern” is to accept doubt about his movement.

          14. When backed against the wall, Sanders tends to lash out, just as the president does. After Mueller indicted 13 Russians, Politico reported that “Sanders and his former campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, presented a series of self-serving statements that were not accurate,

          16. On Vermont Public Radio, Sanders blamed Clinton directly for the Russian effort to aid his campaign: “The real question to be asked is what was the Clinton campaign [doing about Russian interference]? They had more information about this than we did.”

          17. That’s not going to fly with Democratic partisans. Perhaps Sanders accepts this, and he will cobble together leftists, anarchists, and political malcontents outside the party to apply pressure. Blaming Clinton is in keeping with his presidential aspirations.

          19. They do believe, however, that the mainstream media’s “fetish” and “obsession” with “Russiagate” is a hoax designed to deflect scrutiny away from the Democratic Party’s wishes to remain subservient to the 1 percent at the expense of the working people it claims to represent.

          20. Blaming Clinton is a way for Sanders to lead the fight against the status quo. In other words, Bernie’s supporters are similar in mentality to Trump’s.

          23. But those denying the Kremlin’s assault experience their own version of psychic entrapment. If they accept the Kremlin sabotaged Hillary Clinton, she’s then a victim, not a villain, and that’s not something people dedicated to overthrowing the neoliberal order can accept.

          26. While Sanders has always struggled to win over Democratic partisans, his new prob. is a divided left. Russia, & now an oligarch, are wedging leftists trying to make sense of facts as they present themselves from leftists so doctrinaire they are blind to what’s happening.

          27. Sanders knows relying on political pariahs to deliver anything is foolhardy. So expect him to play both sides. On the one hand, he’ll stoke doubt about “Russiagate” for loyalists, while on the other

          29. You could say all of this is much ado about nothing. Most voters don’t understand cyber-warfare. But bear in mind a Gallup poll showing 72% of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Russia. Sixty percent of Republicans dislike it while 85 percent of Dems say the same.
