Putin would kill for another Trump presidency, but all he needs to do is convince people not to vote for Biden. Trump’s unwavering base will do the rest.

Pretty much. Low turnout always favors the gop.
Be sure to spot them and talk major shit on russia for fun!
Is it just my partners feed or is there a lot more "totally definitely real russians" appearing on the platform? I'll occasionally overhear shit like "in Russia we believe in a free market. See I'm a hair stylist, and I didn't need any training or certificate, and i have built a great business. america would never allow this because they want to keep their people poor. Russia is a true land of opportunity!"
I don't know if these people are paid or delusional, likely both, but I have trouble with such blatant propaganda picking up traction.
At the end of the day, Russia generally does exactly what you expected it to do all along.
But theyre not here on lemmy try to convince us to disengage politically or spoil our votes, i swear!!! /s
Just a reminder that this is a fixable problem. And the solution is not to make the rest of us suffer.
Sure, fund Ukraine and uncle vlad wont have quite as much money to blow on propaganda and foreign interference.
I agree. New rule: every video or comment that is traceable back to Putin results in another billion dollars in free gear to anyone who will use it to cause problems for Russia. Watch how fast the "as a black woman I am voting for Trump" factories there shutdown.
XD if only it were so easy to trace back, but i appreciate ur heart being in the right place
Sure I agree. Under that situation the advisable thing for Putin to do is be beyond reproach.
