If only you would attempt to be honest in your analyses...Tanden did NOT imply in the tweet you cited that Bernie was "Putin's candidate" She pointed out the fact that Russian interference in our election didn't target Sanders and of course the obvious and most rational explanation for that lack of targeting was that Putin saw the Senator as a weaker candidate to defeat his buddy Trump.

Nor did she go "on record in 2010 in favor of social security cuts" and you present her "bragging" about Obama's cuts to Medicare entirely without context. Those cuts reduced payments (and profits) to private insurance companies providing "advantage" coverage plans to Medicare recipients and reduced payments to providers (doctors, clinics, hospitals) to pay for 100% coverage to Medicare recipients for preventative screenings and examinations and to close the "doughnut hole" in prescription coverage for seniors.

Context matters, cherry picking quotes to push an agenda does not add to a truthful discussion.
