Trump supporters will probably be stuffing ballot boxes next election and act as if it is no big deal. Some on this board would probably gladly do such a thing.

Just show them the words "Black Lives Matter" or "Muslim" and they get all triggered and have to go and elect an incompetent reality show host president, because that'll get em' back.

Oh, you see, Black Lives Matter is ALSO a Russian psy-op.

Look at all the Trump bots and Bernie Bros working together for their ideal future world while ignoring reality, it's so cute.

Let's be fair here just like this board only like 2 or 3 out of 10 "Berniebros" are is the same "fake news" camp over Russian most I've seen plenty "S" here who believe Russiagate happened and that Trump should go down over it

Yeah, who gives a sh-t about an aggressive foreign nation trying to undermine our democratic process? You sure showed them!

It's been established that Russia was running facebook ads with BLM references, presumably to rile up white people and drive them towards Trump. The actual BLM organization is not involved with Russia.

Vladimir Putin buying some Facebook ads to swing maybe a couple of low info voters who then maybe went out and voted in a race that had no business being close in the first place is a minor, who gives-a-flying-f**k story to everyone but the most hardcore Democratic Party acolytes. (Especially since our country has generally BEEN the aggressive foreign nation trying to undermine other countries democratic process for decades).

When I read the comments on Eric Garland's tweetstorms, the main thing I think is "Wow, look at how grounded in reality these people are"

If your reaction to stories like this is 'who cares' it's a good sign that you also don't care about democracy

The Correct The Record propaganda machine was a much bigger effect on the web.

What do you want as the end result of all of this? War with Russia? Heavy sanctions?

Move on dude.

[DrScholl]

It would be nice if social media companies would have better screening to prevent our elections from being interfered with by foreign powers. This sort of thing is no better than ballot box stuffing and it's best that it is properly identified before Russia actually starts tampering with votes in the next election.

The Russians not to do this again in 2020, nor to any other country in the meantime?

Oh spare me that alt-right bs about "oh what you want war Russia" no but that doesn't mean what they are doing can be tolerated. Also let's look at the big picture here a dictator who runs and oligarchical style gov't is backing rabid reactionary RW groups in the West to divide and spilt us up in order to turn democracies in a Eastern Europe into his puppets. This should offend every socalist bone in your body

Imagine how things go if Russian support for Donald Trump proves counter-productive.

Answer this question: What should the 2020 D nominee promise to do about this issue? Don't just say "We need to do something".

Precisely. An election can only be RIGGED when Hillary wins, in their alternative universe. Notice the animosity they have towards whatever scapegoat they choose (DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the corporate media, etc.) but they're so dismissive when it comes to Russia and Putin. Sad!
