"The campaign, based within sight of the Kremlin towers, was staffed by some three dozen people, including lawyers and designers for campaign leaflets.

Shkliarov, the movement’s adviser, attributes the upset to door-to-door canvassing — something rarely seen in Russia — and campaign technologies inspired, in part, by his experience with U.S. politician Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential bid, when he worked as head of mobilization in Nevada.

The political campaigning software he encountered there for the first time formed the base of the liberal Russian coalition’s bid in Moscow, albeit “adapted to scale,” said Shkliarov, who is originally from Soviet Belarus but has been based in Washington, D.C. since 2010."

The correct thread title would be "Political operative works on campaign"

This guy was an Obama staffer too, you know?

Interfere ? The thread should be locked for clickbait titles. Even Corbyn took a lot of people from the Sanders campaign who came & helped train Momentum for digital & canvassing to drive youth turnout.

Staffers are free independent people & can work anywhere if paid accordingly. The word "Interfere" just doesn't fit in here.

I don't see anything wrong with interfering in other countries elections. It undermines nationalism and "sovereignty" which can only be a good thing. (Which makes it especially hilarious when Trumpets do it).

It is always amusing how dumbfu**ks without much intelligence feel can call others idiot & feel proud about it. Griffin, I know you are not seeing this but I hope if you are born again, your combined IQ in 2 lifetimes will exceed mine. I have great education qualifications, I earn a lot of money & I hold a good/high management position in possibly the most iconic organizations in the world whose office you should go & visit in your state (& wave from a distance). And I have only just started.

Maybe someday, I will buy whatever company you work for & make you work under me.

^^^ LMAO, sig'd!

Also, good luck buying my sole-proprietorship: you need to possess native English skills to turn a profit! Otherwise you'd be stuck making $4.50/hr like all the other Indian "native English speakers".

Also, highly doubtful that somebody who has spent more time on this forum in the past year than I have "holds a good/high management position" and/or "earns a lot of money", unless your employer is the Russian government

Brevity is the soul of wit, dear boy.  You could've just said "My mom says I'm special" and people would've taken the post just as seriously as they'll take this one.  Now then, let's break down this brilliant display of your legendary wit and wisdom.  

*snip*
It is always amusing how dumbfu**ks without much intelligence *snip*

There are "dumbf**ks" who possess a keen intellect?  Interesting.  I can only assume that's what you're implying when you say "dumbf**ks without much intelligence" because otherwise it'd mean you're simply being redundant and clearly far you are far too accomplished a writer to make such a basic mistake.  


It is always amusing how dumbfu**ks without much intelligence feel can call others idiot & feel proud about it. *snip*

I mean, Shadows has a point here.  I certainly take great pride in "feel can call others idiot."  

*snip* Griffin, I know you are not seeing this but I hope if you are born again, your combined IQ in 2 lifetimes will exceed mine.  *snip*

Sick burn!  If Griffin's not careful, Shadows might even call him a "poopyhead" next time.

*snip* I have great education qualifications *snip*

Were you Hifly's roommate at Oxford?  


Forgive us, great one.  We are but mere proles and know not what we do.  

*snip* I hold a good/high management position *snip*

I too aspire to hold good/high management position.  Beep boop beep boop

*snip* I hold a good/high management position in possibly the most iconic organizations in the world *snip*

Wait a minute, that must mean...guys, Walt Disney's alive!  Freezing his head must have worked after all.  Fascinating.  

*snip* whose office you should go & visit in your state (& wave from a distance). *snip*

There's a Disney Land in Georgia?  The more you know *shrug*.

*snip* And I have only just started. *snip*
 

Well that's weird.  Normally when Shadows says that he's complaining about Hillary Clinton.
 
*snip* Maybe someday, I will buy whatever company you work for & make you work under me. *snip*

I wonder how much the Whitfield County Democratic Party would go for on Ebay.

Interesting that a socialist sees the world through the lens of PE (and literally buying people).

I do not see what the problem is here... Shkliarov is a private individual who can work for anyone, even a foreign political candidate, without his work being considered foreign interference since he's not acting on behalf of any government.

Well reading something this hilariously bad is a great way to start the day.
