I wouldn't be surprised if the Russians already accounted for that if any of this turns out to be true. Their sole goal is to get Trump on the seat, and Hillary lost they would have used this information to make sure Trump wins.
AOC/Crowley had virtually nothing to do with broader party politics.
Certainly there was a lot of bot activity attempting to do that.
It certainly raises the question as to how involved the campaign was in these antics. It may have never reached the candidate, Bernie, but the campaign team itself?
Well, the Bernie primary voters that actually bothered to vote in the general. But what of those who were dissuaded from voting? Either way, blaming Bernie voters isn't particularly productive at this point.
This is just a wild defense. Did you even read it before you hit post?
It's more likely that he was thrown in to tank Hillary. That would explain the weird mixed messaging prior to the DNC convention. I bet Devine wanted to hold off on endorsing Hillary for as long as possible.
Hey man, I am a corporate neoliberal shill.
This is really unnecessary and shitty.
Of course. I was about to make this exact thread. I think people already putting blame on Sanders are probably getting ahead of themselves.
In Ukraine, Russia funds pro-Russia puppet parties to try and undermine the government there. (Ukraine is who they invaded and annexed . Paul Manafort, Trump's second campaign manager, worked for these parties for about a decade. Tad Devine, who did work for Gore/Kerry, worked for these parties and their campaigns for about 8 years before leaving in early 2014 and jumping to the Sanders campaign about 6 months later.
We just callin people out?
No no. Bernie needs to answer for that shit, even if he didn't know. A simple "I had no idea" should suffice.
Very true. Unfortunately, it only takes a few corrupt heads to hijack the chain of command. The simple low-level campaign worker is just doing as the higher-ups instructed.
Yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tad_Devine#Political_media_consulting It was brought up as a point of concern during the primaries and election season.
But I think we all assumed that contact and such cut off after 2010 and left a resume gap of a few years. Devine emailing Manafort up till 2014 suddenly reduces the resume gap to 6 months which is...really bad.
