Russian intelligence is operating a systematic program to launder pro-Kremlin propaganda through private relationships between Russian operatives and unwitting US and western targets, according to newly declassified US intelligence.
Yes, Trump supporters, but plenty on the left parrot the talking points too. I was banned from a leftist space on Reddit for saying Russia operates troll farms and targets Americans.
They are as much leftist as I am. They are just authoritarian left who somehow have forgotten Russia is not even nominally leftist outside some propaganda. I disagree as liberal socialist with them as much as I do with right-wing people, but we can’t deny that their economic policies are usually actually leftist. But it is important to note, that they aren’t common at least where I am.

I mean, maybe Jimmy Dore, but he’s hardly a leftist.
I have an extra left wing sister in law. Around here she would likely be called a tankie. She regularly posts memes about how awful war is and how everyone should refuse to go and then there would be no war. She especially makes those posts when Ukraine goes on the offence (even in its own country). Oddly though, she NEVER makes those posts in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine.

I mean I understand and there are definitely idiots on both sides. I chalk it up to the person in infancy of being woke and feel like they have all the answers, with all the passion of it being new and none of the experience to temper things for reality. Very black and white.
However both suck and I won’t support either is an opinion most politically active people are going to scoff at because by choosing none, you’re supporting the worst sides of both. The reason that homophobic was thrown around is based on the fact that if someone does not care enough that Republicans are actively seeking out legislation to harm and ostracize members of the LGBTQA community to vote Democrat then you’re essentially in support. Same goes with women’s rights and race issues. It’s a shame that people resort to name calling, ANYONE would dig in their heels and not even consider listening as soon as they are insulted like that. It’s unhelpful at best and harmful always.
I’m glad you’re educating yourself and supporting your sister! I’m not trans but familiar enough with it, if you have any questions or to just sort of talk about it with someone not directly impacted and thus you don’t have to worry about my feelings or whatever, feel free to message me.
Thanks for your hard work for sanders! He is my dream pick for president. If you mean politically I do disagree that things are deeper than they appear (in the context of one side wanting to control or harm certain groups) but if you meant interpreting comments on social media then yeah, I can agree there for sure.

The justification? I was parroting US propaganda.

Useful idiots.
Sadly, yes.

“Do you like waffles, or pancakes?” “Pancakes I guess?” “Oh so you hate waffles then?!”
