He didn't want to end up like Seth Rich aka murdered.

I'm just passing along the info. /u/Tree_Snake has some good insights, but I think the capitulated for the expired Patriot Act.

They might have had to reign him in after the DNC-Wikileaks thing.

Don't blame the guy one bit. Who the tell wants to die from sudden violent suicide???

This is really the only thing that makes sense to this Berniebot. They roughed him up and threatened the people he loves. They had to commit blatant election fraud for this old Jew's idealism. Of course they fucked him up.

The mark is on his face in every shot of him at the DNC.

Honestly, I think he swapped out for the expired Patriot Act, but this theory is ... compelling.

Yes. Die for his cause. NO ONE would be dumb enough to ignore that death. He pussed out. He's already 1000000 years old. Just stand up for your beliefs.

pitenius

No one? You should talk to the normies outside the paranoid world. They'll believe anything.

"Two in the back of the head and he threw himself into the Potomac? Sounds like every day suicide to me! He must have been really disturbed!"

RedLeader

He obviously got talked out of his revolution. Talk is a placeholder for what probably happened.

Is it true about secret service detail?

SeanBox

That said he maintained it. Never said he lost it at all.

pitenius

No.

Here's the headline: Sanders loses Secret Service protection

The lead: Sen. Bernie Sanders is no longer receiving Secret Service protection, a source said Tuesday.

Third sentence: The protection was dropped on arrival in Washington, according to a source familiar with the senator's schedule.

LINK TO ANOTHER ARTICLE : Sanders continues to receive Secret Service protection

A timeline: He maintained his protection even after the Democratic primary process ended on June 14, drawing some questions from his fellow senators as he returned to his day job on Capitol Hill.

I have no idea how you read that article and came to that conclusion.

Thank you. I don't know what the fuck this guy was reading above you.

I've noticed this more and more on VOAT. The people who complain about astroturfing are right. There's a lot of accounts about a year old that show up in threads, mostly to disagree. They seem to have a left slant and I notice them mostly in political threads. There was one railing about Mussolini and Trump. Scratch a bit, and you'll find that this was a talking point. I suppose they were created during some Reddit exodus and are being managed.

I'm hoping the voting system here functions better to manage the shilling. Reddit was poor at this. They should do IP checking as to not allow more than one IP vote on different accounts.

pitenius

Well... I dunno. I wonder if the accounts were lost, or burners, or scripted creations. I could see the need for a centralized authority. Verified ID gets a token to create ONE account. That token is anonymized when it's redeemed for the account name. The uses and abuses of non-refutability/plausible deniability are still developing. There's more than one strategy of identity.
