“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”

    Ahahaha oh no the “office workers” are still all over here, their content usually just gets downvoted into being permanently hidden and they’ve stopped picking fights outside of their own posts.

          Someone can be carrying water for Putin while not actually being on the payroll, because they’re dumb enough to fall for all the propaganda.

              Are you really trying to act like this is some big reveal? Dude, we know. We’re the #1 target of the pro-US propaganda. We see it all the time. It’s why we’re pretty good at spotting other country’s propaganda when we see it.

                    Individuals’ perceptions and behaviors can be influenced by the implicit stereotypes they hold, even if they are sometimes unaware they hold such stereotypes.

                    Implicit bias isn’t a nationalist.

      At first I read this as something that existed at the post level, too. Man, I sometimes wish something like that existed - posts below a certain rating could just be hidden (like Slashdot, for instance).

        Well, on lemmy you can probably brigade quite easily so that would give the propagandists a weapon too.

        It does kinda, if you browse using the Hot sorting stuff with 0 or less net score typically won’t show up unless you go quite a few pages back.
