Please don’t assume that it’s all Russian bot bullshit. Thursday night’s “debate” performance was a catastrophe that affirmed a lot of people’s worst fears, my own included. I just don’t know how he wins after that, and if he can’t win, then I’m sorry but it’s time for an open convention.
Accusing criticism of Biden and his viability as a presidential candidate on “Russian bots” is purely a silencing tactic: a way of dismissing criticism rather than engaging with it by asserting a specific intent behind that criticism that reduces it to a tool of a foreign adversary as opposed to a genuine set of concerns by members of the electorate.
I’ve noticed most of the time on Lemmy/Reddit, every time someone says something that doesn’t fit the narrative they just say it’s a Russian bot. Everything gets tied back to Russia somehow
Shit happens all the time to me. “How much does putin pay you” was a recent one. Sorry that I think war sucks and the US is an evil dumpster fire.
But I think there are quite a few feds chilling on lemmy trying to prevent fruitful discussion. It is easier to point out here since some communities are so small. But liberals do the feds’ work for them without even realizing so its hard to tell sometimes lol
