    Unless anyone here has spent time on other social media platforms that are unfiltered you really don’t have a clue what a cesspool of troll farm propaganda that has been pouring out for the last several months.

    And it all stopped last night.

    Non-stop made-up bullshit blaming Harris for the last four years for some completely undefined fault, high fuel prices even though they’re down, grocery prices, inflation, cost of housing, etc. etc. Just a steady sewer pipe drain of dreck for months. I bet Putin got his money’s worth.

      dnc had spent 1.6 billion on ads vs a billion by trump, so we don’t get to make that excuse.
      there was plenty of pro-harris spam on insta, reddit and even my linkedin feed.

      we are again not accepting that dnc is a corporate entity fooling us. they support lgbt, abortion etc because it cost their donors nothing. ask them to compromise on inflation, housing or even genocide and we are told “stfu, do you want to get trump elected ?”

      they don’t care about america, bernie said it best here

      “Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign? Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not,”

        Pretty sure the legitimate campaign spending wasn’t what he was referring too.

        The propaganda machine was also being funded by international entities (e.g. Tim Pool being paid by Russian state media employees).
