Couple thoughts:

  1. As always this is fuckin rich coming from the Regime Change country
  2. US policy impacts literally everybody because the US can't fuckin mind their own business so in a pretty real sense the rest of the world should be allowed to vote in US elections.

When the Republican candidate wins: It's because Russian bots interfered in the elections

When the Democratic candidate wins: It's because Chinese bots interfered in the elections

"We lost because of social media interference, not because our candidate has the charisma of a bowl of oatmeal and has pledged to continue aiding a genocide that 80% of our voters want us to stop"

Somehow the Russian propagandists got Kopmala to spread their misinformation, because I decided I wouldn't vote for her during the DNC speech based on words out of her own mouth

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 week ago

Liberals always fail to explain how Russia paying companies to push a message is more Russian influence than, idk, the influence of those fucking companies they're paying. IT'S ALMOST LIKE CAPITALISM IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH DEMOCRACY, WHICH FUCKING ALBERT FUCKING EINSTEIN STATED IN SUCH SUCCINCT TERMS A FUCKING BABY COULD UNDERSTAND IT, LIKE 100 YEARS AGO

Did I just wake up in 2020 again? What's next? Are they accusing Chinese bots for ruining their breakfast?

Funny you should say, CNN was saying China and Iran are deploying bots rn.

Ex-aide to NY Gov. Hochul charged as Chinese agent

While working in state government, Sun allegedly blocked representatives of the Taiwanese government from meeting with officials, and allegedly sought to arrange for a high-level New York state official to visit China.

liberty-weeping which is apparently "a threat to our national security."....glasses-on Threat to weapons contrators profits.

I'm just waiting for the democrats to suddenly become very concerned about the MIGRANT CONVOYS the republicans usually trot out every four years

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

Judging by the fact that the HarriSS campaign is releasing attack ads harping on how Trump shot down a border security bill, they are already concerned about it.

Because this worked so well last time lol

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 week ago (8 children)

It did though

Every fucking liberal still believes, to their core, in the existence of a vast warehouse full of Russian agents posting anti-Democrat agitprop in support of Trump. Everything negative in the West is now a Russian psyop according to liberals: independence movements, pro-Palestinian movements, any form of fascism is funded by Russia, etc

There was never any proof posted and yet this fucking idea scrawled onto the back of some Langley lanyard's napkin at lunch became the guiding principle by which all liberals have spent the last 8 years living

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately I agree. It did seem to work very well. Libs in my family that know literally nothing about Russia are convinced that Putin is out to get them.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When I was telling my Blue MAGA friend I would never vote for Biden and he needed to step down (jokes on them, I won't vote for Kopmala either), he accused me and my wife of basically buying into Russian propaganda...like bro, all I did was watch the debate and watch this corpse of a man cling to power, no Russians involved.

I guess now I have fallen for even more Russian propaganda, such as the very words that came out of Kopmala's mouth (frack more, make our military more lethal, palestinians are r**ists)

I always find funny when something happens and someone quickly go: Russian hackers/Russian bots.

Sometimes Putin is a incompetent moron and sometimes he is god who can shape the entire internet? Come on.

The liberals saw QAnon, and how it warped the Republican party, and thought, "Hey, we need some of that on our side."

Except for our freedom loving fascism!

But didn't they lose the election to Trump when they went so hard on the Russia stuff in 2016? This stuff sounds like it only works on true believer libs.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You mean that election where the democrats got 3 million more votes than Trump and still lost lol

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Yes that one. I still find it wild that in 1/3 of US elections in the 21st century, the candidate with less votes won. So much for the "freedom and democracy" that the US likes to preach about...

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The Russia stuff didn't really take off until after the Democrats blew it. Its purpose was not to get out the vote, but to blame everything on forces beyond their control and prevent the Democratic Party from being justifiably decapitated by its constituents. In the end, it worked. They lost to Donald fucking Trump and all of them got to keep their jobs.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There was never any proof posted

IIRC there was some proof it's just that the "interference" had all the sophistication of a facebook page called "Blacks 4 Trump" with 20 followers. The exact same thing was done with far more skill by the UK-based private company Cambridge Analytica but for some reason we never hear about the british interfering in our sham elections.

Attention citizens - if you hear any criticism of our girl boss Kamala, that's heckin' Hamas. If anyone speaks ill of our dad Walz, that's freakin' Vlad whispering in your ear.

Doesn't really speak well to their belief in their ability to win.

Also blue Maga, this sure reads an awful lotnlike Trump saying the only way he loses is if dems cheat months ahead of the election.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago
