It's a good thing that they didn't have data manipulation and the ability to micro target every community to create false narratives on the candidates they did not want to win back then huh.
During the McCarthy era, hundreds of Americans were accused of being "communists" or "communist sympathizers"; they became the subject of aggressive investigations and questioning before government or private industry panels, committees, and agencies. The primary targets of such suspicions were government employees, those in the entertainment industry, academicians, and labor-union activists. Suspicions were often given credence despite inconclusive or questionable evidence, and the level of threat posed by a person's real or supposed leftist associations or beliefs were sometimes exaggerated. Many people suffered loss of employment or destruction of their careers; some were imprisoned. Most of these punishments came about through trial verdicts that were later overturned,[8] laws that were later declared unconstitutional,[9] dismissals for reasons later declared illegal[10] or actionable,[11] or extra-legal procedures, such as informal blacklists, that would come into general disrepute.The most notable examples of McCarthyism include the so-called investigations conducted by Senator McCarthy, and the hearings conducted by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).It's a good thing that they didn't have data manipulation and the ability to micro target every community to create false narratives on the candidates they did not want to win back then huh.
Unlike now, and we really don't need another puppet for Putin.
Because for whatever reason Putin is propping up Bernie, it is not for America's benefit.

Right, it is funny that today we have the ability to actually read the emails that the Russian military was sending about their attack. Down to knowing how many rubles they had as a monthly budget to attack our elections.
You're explicitly implying Russia is helping Sanders win the Democratic primary, and accusing Sanders supporters of not being American and spreading propaganda to help Sanders having no evidence of either claim. You're accusing anything/everything, regardless of source or authenticity of being Russian propaganda to help Sanders. Everything that helps Sanders is propaganda, anything that hurts anyone else is propaganda. In effect, you're 'crying wolf' about propaganda, which minimizes the severity of actual propaganda and turns people off to future potential threats, as it did in the 50s.
You are saying there is no evidence that Sanders is being helped by Russia? Are you insane? Even Bernie himself has acknowledged that they are.
Changing hearts and minds is one of the reasons I'm here, how about you? This is a place for discussion and the exchange of news, ideas and help, is it not?Psychology Says People Who Give Lots of Advice Secretly Want This 1 Thing

^That post was preaching. You've been doing a lot of that, so I'm just posting stuff to "provide knowledge and understanding" back at you. It sucks doesn't it? I'm here to listen to people's opinions and how they came up with them More of the latter though.
Yep, Buddgig is racist as fuck for ever being a mayor who inherited a racist police department. Totally racist, that. Tell us more about Klobuchar being racist as fuck.
"Speaking to reporters in Bakersfield, California, Friday afternoon, Sanders confirmed that his campaign was briefed about the Kremlin's efforts about a month ago and condemned Russia's attempts to interfere in US elections.

Preaching peace and reconciliation, so ok guilty as charged. I'm here to listen to opinion and provide my own observations and beliefs, like you. I've been balancing out the Bernie postings with stuff on Joe too (who I also like). I come at the world with a point of view and an attitude, like you.
Something he could do, maybe write a bill about election interference, hold a press conference warning the citizens of our country that are being attacked on a daily basis."Speaking to reporters in Bakersfield, California, Friday afternoon, Sanders confirmed that his campaign was briefed about the Kremlin's efforts about a month ago and condemned Russia's attempts to interfere in US elections.
"It was not clear what role they're going to play. We were told that Russia, maybe other countries, are going to get involved in this campaign, and look, here's the message to Russia: stay out of American elections," Sanders said.
"And what they are doing, by the way, the ugly thing that they are doing, and I've seen some of their tweets and stuff, is they try to divide us up. That's what they did in 2016 and that is the ugliest thing they are doing -- is they are trying to cause chaos, they are trying to cause hatred in America.""
Sanders told Russia is trying to help his campaign
Sen. Bernie Sanders said Friday that his campaign was briefed about Russian efforts to help his presidential campaign, intensifying concerns about the Kremlin's role in the US presidential race.
They are trying to spread chaos, just like he said. What could Sanders do to fix or prevent something like this from happening? It seems like it would be pretty easy to influence an election by claiming a political adversary supports a specific candidate over another. I wouldn't consider tweets and memes to fit the criteria for 'extraordinary evidence' for such an extraordinary claim..
By your line of reasoning, I should vote for Trump? I mean, under Republican regimes, white men such as myself will continue to get better wages and all the other benefits that being a white man affords us in the US. Along the same twisted lines of your "workers are better off with Sanders" logic, my "self interest" is best served if we maintain the status quo where I'd continue to earn 30% more than minorities and women. Also, when I'm pulled over by the police, I can usually talk myself out of a ticket. Also, I'll be dead before the effects of climate change are fully realized. Fuck the kids.
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but he's running for president. Have many members of congress penned bills while they're running for president? He's done as much as he, or anyone else for that matter, could do
It's hard for me to choose the phonier of the two.
To be honest, I'd rather do just about anything than sit with a person who wants to tell me how to live my life. That article I recently posted explains why.
He wasn't a senator the last 3 years? He wasn't in an election that was attacked by the Russian military?
