  i call it the mirror version of conservatives, they talk like right wingers, respond like them, post nonsense like them.

    Just as there are facts and then there are uh… ah… “alternative facts”, so too there is an Alt-Right, and they represent basically an Alt-Left.

    Or something, I have no fucking clue what is really going on over there. It does seem more like whatever they are, their beliefs are not genuine - as in they even troll themselves so hard that some of them forgot that they were doing it!?!

    I’ve seen the same arguments against liberals here used against Bernie Sanders on Instagram. “Why aren’t you doing more about Palestine?”, “Why’d you let this happen?”, “why are you too powerless to influence policies?”. I know some bots follow a script. The only difference here is the framing.

      And it worked. So many did not vote for Harris… (tbf the electoral system in the USA is fairly bork3n and complexicated, with the vast majority of votes not actually mattering, especially in blue states that would have voted for her regardless) and looking back, who can say if the campaigns had any effect? Though they did seem to try to have an effect, and that alone should mean… at least something to us? (in terms of actions taken, it seems to have not, but should it have?)
