Russians trick Hillary into running one of the most incompetent presidential campaigns in recent history which include losing multiple safe blue states in the midwest.

Why are people arguing Russian influence caused by these accounts, when the report its self admits that they probably had no effect at all.

I do enjoy that people parroting the Russia poo poo have already forgotten about actual legitimate obstacles such as "the media acting as a free bullhorn for Trump at every opportunity, because ratings".

the full entire scale of the alleged russian shitposting on twitter/facebook is like being worried about the message getting out of someone farting into an old walkie talkie in morse code in a back alley compared to the person yelling into the emergency broadcast system megaphone

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
If Russian shitposting can be blamed for single handedly sabotaging Clinton's campaign, can we say that Correct the Record can be attributed for single handedly sabotaging Bernie's campaign?

no because russian shitposting tricked sanders supporters into breaking small donor fundraising records and having by far the highest crowd turnouts of any campaign in the 2016 election

anything sanders achieved is now due to russian shitposting
