Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

The whole problem with buying into the trump-russia narrative is that it's too narrow of a lens. Leftist already know that foreign oligarchs have major influence on american policy.

Like all good conspiracy theories, russia-trump has a kernel of truth, but the point of it isn't to expose the perverse incentives of power between politics and capital, instead it's about justifying a worldview where the system is fine and this one president is an anomaly.

also takes like this:


Is the problem. The fact that people watch Trump-Russia so they should continue to cover Trump-Russia is the same logic as people watch movies with white people so obviously we HAVE to make an all white adaption of AKIRA.

:agreed:

it'd be nice if russia was a leaping point into "maybe we shouldn't allow influence in our elections by oligarchs in general cause they don't have the best intentions of voters in mind", but that's a step too far cause hillary clinton was burried up to her eyeballs in oligarch money and influence and there was absolutely nothing wrong with her

so instead we just get "anyone who voices an opinion i disagree with is a russian bot/troll"

This isn't just oligarchs, though; it's the actual Russian intelligence service. A better angle on this might be "well, gee, maybe we should stop the CIA from doing poo poo like this, sure doesn't feel nice being on the other side of it".

Speaking of which, I've noticed Democrats are getting a lot more aggressive (at least rhetorically) lately compared to the past 18 months. I guess election season really is starting to kick in.

fwiw it's not entirely unreasonable to think that there's something there to the 'russians got clinton models' line. if you recall the election, a lot of people were very surprised by trump going and having rallies in shithole parts of states that were considered clinton locks.

so either trump's campaign team was a bunch of incredibly savvy political operators who realized she was weak in those areas
or they knew that there was a good reason to go to those areas because someone told them where she was weak

:thunk:

If One thing hasn't been made more clear in the two years after the election is that Hillary's whole operation was built on hocum and fraud while trumps was built on general incompetence and also fraud.
We are talking about the campaign where Trump junior responded to an email basically saying "Yes, lets do crimes".

personally i think more groups, not just russian intelligence, should hack the democratic party and expose the internal workings of that rotten piece of poo poo organization. the content of the leaks was more important than who did it, and the russia poo poo is to completely drum that out of the conversation.
