    How does your viewpoint differ from a MAGA/QAnon supporter claiming leftists are being paid by George Soros to spread propaganda? Like suddenly now our political leaders are above reproach and any criticism must always be part of a coordinated smear campaign?

    I don’t particularly agree with the above commentor in this context, but both these candidates have a long list of terrible things they’ve done and we shouldn’t be trying to sweep it under the rug just because it’s “our” guy. That just makes you sound like a partisan sycophant just like the people doing mental gymnastics to defend Trump’s terrible actions.

      Russian & Chinese foreign influence is a well documented fact, almost every tech company publishes a transparency report on this, you can just look them up. These accounts almost exclusively push right wing politics.

      There is zero evidence of the opposite happening. That’s the difference. One is true and the other is false.

        Almost exclusively meaning sometimes they’ll pretend to be leftists that tell you not to vote for a liberal over a fascist.

        Yes, liberals suck, but fashes only deserve bashes.
