I assume all those "vote third party both side same" people were bots or Russian trolls. Obviously trump was always gonna be way worse
I don't think they're all trolls. I think there are a few right-wing trolls who got stupid people to buy into their astroturf campaign and then it took off from there. IIRC, one of the people in Mi openly admitted that he was a Republican and saw it was an easy wedge issue to get people not to vote.
They aren't. That's an easy scapegoat. Influenced by Russian propaganda, sure, but we're all influenced by propaganda. The vast majority are ordinary citizens, who are as convinced of the righteousness of their beliefs as anyone. Dismissing them, en masse, as bots and trolls isn't helpful.
The fact is, many of them have very valid points. Where they need to be fought is, very specifically, when they encourage non-voting. There's no good argument for non-voting, and it's easy to defeat them there.
That's fair and a much better response than mine above. I'm just a bit disenfranchised from it all, especially the non action and non voting suggestions of many on the left.
But you are right, it's basically a center right and a far right party, and that super sucks and needs to be complained about a lot.
Are you saying the entire dbzer0 instance is administered by a bot?
Well, he did leave you another option.
True. And with the way dbzer0 embraces red-fash because they both hate libs so much...
