US Uncut reports:
Some of the biggest pro-Bernie Sanders groups on Facebook were briefly taken down Monday evening in a targeted attack by Hillary Clinton supporters.
The groups Bernie Sanders Activists, Bernie Believers, BERNIE OR BUST, Bernie Sanders Revolutionaries, Bay Area for Bernie, Bernie Sanders 2016 — Ideas Welcome, Bernie Sanders is my HERO, and Bernie Sanders for President 2016 were all taken down in the attack. The pages in question were reported to be down for about three hours, from 9 p.m. to midnight Monday night.
Collectively, these groups are home to more than a quarter million Bernie Sanders supporters, and some have been in existence for nearly a year, having been launched shortly after the Vermont senator declared his intent to run for president in 2015.
The groups were targeted by online trolls, who posted pornographic images and reported the groups to Facebook admins.

If she's not near the 5 percent I am voting Barr '16 because I voted Stein in '12.
I don't care as much who gets the 5 percent, but the current Libertarians strike me as too Republican rather than Libertarian, and without multiple 5 percenter parties it will just continue being an oligopoly thanks to the wealth at the top.

I never understood how he ever ended up on a Libertarian Party ticket in the first place. This is the same guy who trued to outlaw the practice of neo-pagan religions (Wicca in particular) on US military bases. And he was a rabid "reefer madness" type as far as the War on Drugs, only coming around to some semblance of sanity on medical marijuana when he decided to run for president...
