Don't rule out the idea that some of these "Bernie delegates"

[forjusticethunders]

Are paid Trump (or more alarmingly, paid Putin) shills. It wouldn't be the first time authoritarian/totalitarian regimes have used populist/dissident/leftist movements as a tool of their foreign policy. Now that we know that a foreign dictator is very likely actively trying to rig an American election, you can't rule out *anything*.

1. I have thought this for a while. I have always felt that some of the trolls here are paid Trumpers.

2. You have every reason to think that

The web brigades, also known in English media as the troll army, are state-sponsored anonymous Internet political commentators and trolls linked to Russian government.[1] They are suspected to be organized teams and groups of commentators that participate in Russian and international political blogs and Internet forums using sockpuppets and large-scale orchestrated trolling and disinformation campaigns to promote pro-Putin and pro-Russian propaganda.[2][3][4][5] It has also been found that Wikipedia articles were targeted by Russian internet propaganda activities.[6][7][8]

3. It's really fucking crazy

I'm getting bad memories of the days where the CPUSA and other left orgs were essentially subsidiaries of the Kremlin, which is something I never want to see again. I'd really love to know how deep the rabbit hole goes. A lot of the hard left loves RT, for example. Wikileaks seems to have become a Russian espionage outlet. I know I'm folding the tinfoil hat here but we have at the very least strong circumstantial evidence that Putin is attempting to interfere with American foreign policy through electoral rigging, so can't ignore the possibility.

4. No way

These are delegates elected at Democratic Party caucuses or conventions. Sanders supporters probably elected the most outrageous delegates they could find just because they were outrageous.

Most Sanders supporters are not at the convention and will vote for Hillary.

5. I think I will rule that out.

Too CT for me. But it would not surprise me if they are greens or libertarians or even LaRouchies
