I never denied that Russia trolls online; it’s a huge part of their intelligence doctrine. Also, humans direct networks of bots.

4·11 小时前The problem with Blue No Matter Who is that the corpo dems and AIPAC Dems who coined that phrase didn’t mean the no-matter-who part if it’s progressives or anti-zionists.
If voting didn’t matter, they wouldn’t try so hard to stop folks from doing it. There are different forms of corruption. Traditionally in the US for example, the actual counting of votes (prior to e-voting) is very accurate and voter fraud is very low but alot of effort is spent on preventing people from voting: laws that bar felons from voting coupled with law enforcement efforts that disproportionately target black people for felony arrests and prosecution is a good example. Other tactics are to limit the options people actually have when voting for and to sideline politicians who slip past gatekeepers either by sabotaging their campaigns in the news cycle or minimizing their effectiveness in congress if actually elected: committee appointments have incredible outsized power within the US congress.
You may disagree with all the positions offered but assuming they’re bots is incredibly naive.

Are you a shitbag IRL or just online?
