Russian propagandists are highlighting it every time Biden’s name is mentioned to convince Democrats to abstain from voting.
It’s been the Republican play forever. They don’t need to convince you that Trump is good, just that Biden doesn’t deserve your vote. That’s enough for Trump to win.
They also keep on stoking Bernie Sanders as an excuse to not vote, while managing to marginalize or dismiss Bernie's own words of urgency that the right-wing/republicans represent a clear and present danger, that one's unmistakeable civic duty is to register to vote, and cast that vote for Biden/Democrats in November.
They did it in '16, tried it in '20, are still doing it. Pointing at Bernie, while keeping his voice on "mute".
damn, i wonder how america could throw a wrench in the plans of alleged russian disinformation campaigns that focus on biden's active support and denial of genocide?
perhaps biden could stop sending weapons and stop denying the genocide?
If Russian misinformation online was so effective, then why dont we see other countries and institutions doing the same?
And in fact we do. The CIA and Dept of Defense have similar programs. The CCP and many EU spy agencies do it. And the historical leader in influencing online discourse is Israel.
Israel's Hasbara propaganda campaign is huge. Students receive scholarships for posting online disinformation. The IDF has a well-funded military arm dedicated to influencing online discourse.
So when we only hear about Russian bots and Russian influence, it feels disingenuous. It is pushing a political narrative. There is a genocide going on. The US administration is supporting it. This meme is downplaying it.
I'm thinking something more like alcoholic-pregnancy victims with atrocious teeth, wearing fake chinese Adidas, getting paid vodka and meth wages as they mindlessly try and drag the world down to their septic tank level of existence.
