“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.”

      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.

            Knowing that propaganda exists, and being able to interpret through media literacy, are two different things.

                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.

                  You’re really just throwing links at the wall here, arent you. Yes implicit bias exists, what does that have to do with international propaganda?

                    Automatically assuming that one is “too smart” for propaganda throws meta-cognition out of the window. It stops you from thinking further about why you think the way you think and believe in what you believe in.

                    This is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, a psychological phenomenon where one’s lack of awareness of their own incompetence makes one prone to believing that one knows enough.

                    No one is too smart to fall for propaganda, even me, even you
