Bruh we're literally sending billions annually to Israel so they can then turn it around and bribe our politicians to get more.

    Looks like you drank the entire bucket of us propaganda. Liberals that see Russia everywhere is to distract you from the failures of their political party. The politicians that screamed Russia the loudest are the ones that had taken the largest amounts of money from AIPAC. Israel is by far the larger threat to us elections.

    I think something the Epstein files are showing us is that they're the same threat.

    Fascists globally, are the threat, regardless of the government they've commandeered.

    Oh, so McCheetoh has no connections to Russia? And Russia clearly has not directly benefited from his actions?

    Don't get me wrong, AIPAC can burn in the deepest layers of hell; but pretending Russia is harmless is just beyond the pale.

    A few 100 memes on Facebook didn't have any impact on elections. Russia didn't fund TV ads or campaign for him. The Russia hysteria coming from oligarchs is to give you a Boogeyman so they can be your savior

    This country is so politically divided that no amount of Facebook memes is going to change a Democrat voter to a Republican or vice versa. Democrats have a history of propping up pieces of shit as candidates and then are shocked when people don't support their pieces of shit based on them having a shitty history and then blame Russia.

    And Republicans have a history of blatant lies; your argument is irrelevant, though.

    Fully a third of the country is neither Republican or Democrat. THAT'S what decides elections, not how many are 'red' vs 'blue' (in fact, for many years now, Republicans are the minority, and by your logic would never win anywhere).

    Again, your assertion that social media-based disinfo campaigns don't do anything is just not true. Like at all.

    A Republican will tell you that they do not like Mexicans. Democrats will say we're going to protect them from deportation and that they are safe, then deport them anyway. A Republican will tell you they do not like the LGBTQ community. Democrats will embrace them while calling themselves an ally, then then make them the punchline whenever they are faced was people they don't agree with.

    Lol

    A Republican will tell you they're going to lower your taxes, then raise them; that they're going to reduce government size to save you money, but it's actually to make corruption easier and cost you more.

    We could go on. We have no heroes in government, but fuck's sake, man, one party are openly fascist.

    But whatever. Go play on Truth* Social.

    Accusing others of falling for propaganda while denying that trump is a russian assett is very funny.

    That's like denying that israel is committing genocide while israelis very openly call for genocide.

    Yes. That's what i meant. I thought that was pretty clear.

    Your denial that trump is a russian asset is a willful denial of reality on par with americans who deny that israel's genocide is a genocide.

    Inside the US, there's a pretty substantial amount of pro-Russia propaganda. For years the NRA was a dominant force in politics and it was completely compromised by Russia. The current US president is a Russian asset. Etc etc.

    Israel is by far the larger threat to us elections

    I'm not sure about "by far", but it doesn't really matter. Two things can be true at the same time. Israel and Russia are both significant threats to the US, both have obtained substantial control over US politicians, and both are threats to their neighbors.

    And also there's overlap because Israel and Russia are partially aligned. (See for example how reluctant Israel has been to offer any support to Ukraine.)
