The rational left attempt to hold back Russia obsessed Dems
You can probably count on one hand the few voices on the left warning against the irrational Russia-obsessed conspiracy theorists that have infected today’s Democratic Party. I’m sure they are shaking their heads as they watch their comrades join in with neocons like Dick Cheney. Here’s a few of their tweets to give you a sample of the madness they are up against.
Michael Tracey now works for the Young Turks and watched this insanity firsthand. Here’s one of his recent posts:

Matt Taibbi often writes for Rolling Stone and recently wrote a big anti-Trump book. Now, many on the left attack him as being pro-Trump because he doesn’t buy into their Russia craze and their desire to ‘investigate’ conservative blogs.
I'm pro-Trump now! Yes, I wrote that nasty book to throw everyone off the scent. https://t.co/8kGY4XXuKA
