I assume the point (if there is indeed such an operation) is to ensure that the Democrats nominate the least electable candidate possible. (Of course, Trump looked unelectable back in 2016, so why would they have helped his campaign before the general? Because any other Republican would have been at least as hawkish on Russia as Clinton? I dunno...)
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoA lot of the disclosed content from tech companies about Russian disinformation campaigns was that they played both sides. They're just as happy to push 2nd Amendment groups as gun control groups at the same time. And the more they can radicalize and push people to the fringes, the less functional the United States is as a global power. Sanders being the most radical left makes him an obvious one to support, him getting elected would stir the right's "OMG, not socialism!" pot about ten times more than any other candidate. Support for Sanders may not even be about low electability, but about ensuring the two parties are as split as humanly possible, regardless of who actually ends up winning.
