You and millions of other leftists didn’t give a hot damn (see: Barack Obama) about Russian activities until 2016 when it became politically advantageous to do so
Russian interference in US politics has been a fact for decades but nobody cared until Democrats figured out how to weaponize it in their favor using their low information base

Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
Bullshit. Go back and read threads from the annexation of Crimea or MH17.
While not technically wrong... there hasn't been a previous example as brazen as 2016. If I'm something you think is the equal, go right ahead.
You have agreed the hacking of major political parties should be considered an act of war. No? If I remember that correctly, I'm not sure where the disconnect is on this.

I’m talking about your gullibility and credibility gap when it comes conspiracy theories about Russians, US presidential candidates, piss tapes, foreign agents and other various and sundry unicorns
If you want people to believe that you take actual Russian meddling in our elections seriously then I’d suggest you do it in some other thread. This thread is for Alex Jones level paranoia, disinformation, and leprechauns. It is a grand monument to your political blindfold and lack of logic
As an aside, I’m actually eager to hear about your war plan for Russia, you little reeky hawk, you

Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
Ok. I assume you don't have any decent example that compares to 2016. And, I assume I remembered correctly that you considered the 2016 cyber attacks to be an act of war.
As to my "war plan" for Russia - I don't think it should have been conventional war. I think we should have unleashed a proportional cyber response. I also think we should have hit Putin and his oligarchs financially. Not just the routine sanctions, but stripping them of all their money outside Russia, similarly to what we did to Al Qaeda and other terrorism financing post 9/11.

Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
I have a sincere question - are we to believe Trump's administration with regards to Russian Interference or not? This isn't the DNC or the Obama administration. This is Trump's own people admitting this.
Or are they "deep state" as well?
Or are we just blurring the lines between Russian Interference and Russian Collusion? It seems that we can have one w/o the other (although, Trump's precious ego can't handle that).

Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
We know Russian active measures in 2016 included support for Bernie. I believe it's probably true this time as well.
If Bernie's senior advisors were caught meeting with a Kremlin lawyer promising dirt on Trump or sharing internal campaign data I would consider that to be disqualifying at the very least as well.

Nobody is claiming the Russians aren’t actively engaged in online misinformation programs. That has been a known fact for many years. And before the Internet and social media, they were doing it with print
Claiming anyone here is saying otherwise is invoking a straw man - just like referencing the Crimea and MH17, which have precisely nothing to do with the US (except for turning American lefties into proxy war Nixonians)

Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
Sorry. You agree that the Russians have meddled in our elections. I've come across quite a few Republicans who deny that.
TBH, I'm not sold that Trump coordinated in anyway with the Ruskies. I think the rub is that his ego can't handle the fact that Russian meddling in 2016 MIGHT'VE helped him. I find it interesting that he doesn't believe his own intelligence community, especially when it's coming from people he chose to run those agencies.

In fact, the IC was saying the same thing back when the 1980s were asking for their foreign policy back... back when certain people didn’t care
In fact, over the last century those efforts have been fruitless and all evidence points to the 2016 shenanigans not being effectual, either.
"You however, are an insufferable ankle biting mental chihuahua..." - Clizzoris
Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
The effects would be too difficult to ascertain. But notice my qualifying word, 'Might've'. We can't definitively determine how effective/ineffective it was. Richard Burr (Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee) is correct, "we cannot calculate the impact that foreign meddling and social media had on this election." But the IC, Obama administration and Trump Administration agree that the Moscow interfered. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence committee came to the same conclusion in 2018. Same with a House committee.CID1990 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 8:42 amThe IC hasn’t said anything about the effects of Russian meddling.

Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
All I said in this instance is that there are reasons for thinking the Russians would prefer that Trump be re-elected. However, I will say that in today's day and age we SHOULD be concerned about foreign efforts to influence our elections. It's one thing to say countries have a preference for who wins elections in other countries. But we are in an age where we are dealing with sophisticated, targeted campaigns using social media. We SHOULD want to get that under control.GannonFan wrote: ↑Mon Feb 24, 2020 10:18 am The Russians win everytime a JSO or Jelly person gets all up in arms over whether Russia may be rooting for a particular candidate, whether it be Trump or Sanders, to win. Newsflash, we as the US almost always have a preference for a candidate in any other countries' elections to win. So does basically every country. This is what has always made this just the most recent Red Scare and what caused Jelly to slink away from the message boards for months after being duped by it all. All Russia has to do is just exist and we'll have alarmists and chicken-littles here, with their own political agendas, claiming the end is near. Such lemmings.
And it could get to another level with direct hacking of things like voter registration databases. This is not a nothing burger. It's a threat.

Re: Сделаем Америку снова великой! Trump - Russia megathread
I’m not really sure why it is necessary to conflate these two things
It is widely acknowledged that the Russians (and the Chinese for that matter) meddle in our political processes, and now with social media they can reach many more people
Pointing out that the Trump administration did not conspire with Russia to aid their meddling has this odd effect of making some of you revert to the deflection that the Russians did meddle, when nobody here is disputing that claim that I know of
As to the effects, there is no evidence that the Russians have moved the needle - they certainly have made people more angry, have brought out conspiracy minded ignorance in both sides, but I find highly illogical to think that it did anything other than entrench already strongly held political beliefs.
The only minds being changed are in independents who carefully consider their political choices, and those people are generally not fooled by memes and fake stories.
