The single most effective tactic to dissuade voters who were sort of on the fence from turning out would have been to pretend to be a Hillary supporter and then behave in a particularly obnoxious in arrogant way.

I saw many men fly off the handle becasue women knew more about issues than they did. In their tiny minds these were feminazis because they dared contradict them.

(500 posts)looking like a Mao poster and Sanders depicted in very derogatory WWII iconography as a rat, much as the Jews were depicted in Nazi literature. Who was this vendor? I have tried unsuccessfully to find out. Who designed these shirts? I think there is a whole mess of stuff the Russians were involved in that we haven't even touched yet.

(8,610 posts)Putin's purpose was and is to create chaos and destroy America. He was trained as a Soviet KGB agent, and he's made his way to the top and stayed there, consolidating his power, wealth and control. He is smart and savvy. And ruthless, and committed to bringing down our democracy.
So of course his trolls were, and still are pitting democrats against each other, just like they're deepening the existing divisions between democrats and independents and republicans, and liberals and moderates and conservatives.
