Don't bother.

There is a segment of the left who just enjoy dunking on Democrats. They like to pretend what they see and hear on resistance twitter is really what is going with these campaigns.

Yeah, I can understand the argument that Democrats shouldn't rely on Putin-Trump bromance anger to deliver them seats in November, but I absolutely cannot buy the argument that the campaign against Russian interference cannot be part of a larger economic populist argument when the entire Russian interference story is, at its heart, a story of two of the richest men in the world attempting to disenfranchise millions of Americans for their own benefit.

It is funny, Noah Berlatsky was just pointing this out on twitter. He argued that the Russia was an opening that the left could use to liberals and centrist on board about dealing with international kleptocracy.
