Dear Bernie & HRC fans still deeply in hate

Many antagonistic trolls are bots, or ppl paid to make progressives & Dems fight.

*Side effects may include agenda-advancing unity

when it was 2 candidates, it was easier for the bots and trolls to divide us. I definitely noticed a lot of stuff on social media from known republicans and conservative sources spreading inflammatory memes and misinformation about our candidates.

Maybe "progressives and mainstream Dems".

His text seems to state that progressives are Not Dems.
