How TrumPutin's Falsebook bots are screwing with Democrats. (a personal story) [View all]

A friend of my wife (a real anti-Trump person I've met, so not a bot) posted something to the effect that if Sanders wins the nomination, she'll vote for a third party. Her post indicates that she thinks Sanders is the reason Trump "won" in 2016. She apparently missed the part where votes for third-parties such as Putin plant Jill Stein actually put Trump within cheating distance. So she plans to help install Trump as King if she doesn't get her favorite nominee.

People, if you are on Falsebook, don't let your "friends" get suckered into this bot-powered trap. Snap them out of it!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Confused - did she say what you think "it" indicates, or does she just not like Bernie?? jmg257 Feb 2020 #7

Snapping somebody out of "it" means stopping them from voting for a 3rd-party or staying home. lagomorph777 Feb 2020 #9

Ah gotcha - she should be asked - that would be good info to know where she got the notion. jmg257 Feb 2020 #10

Yeah, I'd like to know where she got the notion. lagomorph777 Feb 2020 #12
