It's funny that democrats tried the dame russia collusion thing against sanders by pointing out his honeymoon location. This is all a ploy by establishment to prevent dems rallying under a better leader.

No, actually, Democrats and Republicans have used that over the years to suggest that Sanders had Communist sympathies and/or poor judgement, it was not a basis for attacks by Democrats (or anyone else, AFAIK) that his 2016 campaign benefited from Russian manipulation.
OTOH, his 2016 campaign (and Stein’s) was apparently a beneficiary of Russian manipulation (and I think Sanders has a acknowledged at least that the evidence suggests this), though information about that didn't come out in time for that information to be used in the campaign (and there's been, AFAIK, no indication or significant accusation of collusion on the part of his campaign, thogut Stein’s is a different story.)
