Russia Reactivates Its Trolls and Bots Ahead of Tuesday’s Midterms

Tell me, how did it affect you?

The emails did not come via Russia. You are the one disseminating propaganda.

Our intel agencies established unequivocally that Russia passed the hacked material on to Wikileaks.

I didn't affect me personally. But exit polling indicates 1 in 10 people who supported Sanders ended up voting for Trump. Most because they felt, incorrectly, that the nomination had been stolen from Bernie by nefarious activities inside the party.

 

[berg80]

I define any partisan effort to control information and narrative as election interference. Foreign or Domestic.

What a bizarre definition. So you think the campaigns themselves are interfering with the election?

 

[struth]

Your memory is clouded by right wing propaganda. Read Mueller's report. Almost the whole first section is dedicated to exposing Russia's activities.
Also, consider the impact of the release of the hacked e-mails Russia disseminated thru Wikileaks.

vlad needs a medal for exposing the corruption in the dnc, and clinton campaign. I can’t imagine why anyone supports the party after all that corruption was exposed

No they didn't.

All despite the emails showing that is exactly what happened. Sanders voters didn't support Hillary. Get over it.

Wait..........did you just compare accused, innocuous inter party politics of dubious credibility with the corruption of the Trump admin?

 

[berg80]

No they didn't.

We're past that now. Do try to keep up.

I believe Assange. All the same no matter who leaked it, you are more upset it was leaked than what it showed.

Argue Russia did it. I say to give them a medal for exposing the corruption.

 

[berg80]

huh? i said nothing about trump.

You said the Dems do not deserve support because of their corruption. I pointed out what happened during the Dem prez primaries in 2016 pales by comparison to Trump's corruption. Meaning Repubs are the party that does not deserve support. Got it?

 

[Darkwind]

What a bizarre definition. So you think the campaigns themselves are interfering with the election?

I think that the media is interfering with the elections. When they hide the corruption of the president's son just before an election, that is election interference. When they hide any information about a party or politician before an election, that is election interference.

The fact that they lie about republicans and put republicans in the worst possible light WHILE they hide Democrat corruption IS election interference.

there was nothing in the trumpn admin as corrupt as the dnc and clinton campaign

what you did was deflect from your support of corruption

 

[berg80]

Not so. I'm more upset about how it was obtained and that Trump encouraged it being stolen and released. The information itself was blown way out of proportion.

The user on Gab who identifies as Nora Berka resurfaced in August after a yearlong silence on the social media platform, reposting a handful of messages with sharply conservative political themes before writing a stream of original vitriol.

The posts mostly denigrated President Biden and other prominent Democrats, sometimes obscenely. They also lamented the use of taxpayer dollars to support Ukraine in its war against invading Russian forces, depicting Ukraine’s president as a caricature straight out of Russian propaganda. The fusion of political concerns was no coincidence.

The account was previously linked to the same secretive Russian agency that interfered in the 2016 presidential election and again in 2020, the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg, according to the cybersecurity group Recorded Future.

It is part of what the group and other researchers have identified as a new, though more narrowly targeted, Russian effort ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections. The goal, as before, is to stoke anger among conservative voters and to undermine trust in the American electoral system. This time, it also appears intended to undermine the Biden administration’s extensive military assistance to Ukraine.

Researchers have identified a series of Russian information operations to influence American elections and, perhaps, erode support for Ukraine.

With all the Trumpleton's out there, US citizens who have been duped in to posting one lie after another on all manner of political topics, I wonder why Vlad feels further interference by Russia in support of the Party of Trump is even necessary.

 

[petro]

Don't support Biden or his proxy war with Russia and you are now considered a Russian bot.

This shit is why I can never vote for liberals and have to plug my nose and vote Republican.

Learn something.

Was the Democratic primary rigged?

Democrats made a big mistake in the 2016 primary.

trump didn’t encourage it being stolen

and sorry, yes it’s illegal to hack, i get that…but it’s sort of like being outraged at the guy that broke into a house and found child porn…then exposed the child pornographer…yeah it wasn’t right to break in someone’s house hut the crimes exposed are far worse.

Trump says “Russia, if you’re listening” was a joke. There’s tape to prove otherwise.

Trump is layering lie upon lie to rewrite the history of his encouragement of Russian hackers.
