Ending many of his rallies with a churchlike ritual and casting his prosecutions as persecution, the former president is demanding — and receiving — new levels of devotion from Republicans.
The russians did that over 25 years of bot farms and intentionally targeting rural areas assisted by criminal elements. Consistent priming from those entities allowed Trump to do what he has done.
This isn’t magic. Trump isn’t a genius. It was planned foreign attacks for decades.
Wanna see it in real time? The russian bot farm here mostly inhabits lemmy.ml and their primary tactic is attacking the democratic candidate from the “left”. The droves of anti-biden comments are the disinfo campaign in real time. We live in history.
The 10 to 20 anti-US (not supporting Palestinians or about Palestine) Israel/Palestinian conflict articles posted here per week by 2 or 3 posters come to mind. Top message: “BIDEN GENOCIDE”
With a electoral system like Ranked Choice voting, people would feel safe to vote for whomsoever they wish, as their vote would still be counted even if their preference didn’t win. Then people could vote for whichever leftist party they prefer, while still counting their vote against the republicans.
Just search for videos on FPTP voting if you want an explanation on how and why the spoiler effect exists.
Electoral reform is possible in each individual state (for now), we dont need federal reform! Maine and Alaska have already passed electoral reform.
Republicans are moving to make alternative electoral systems illegal in their states. Republicans want to protect first past the post voting. Why would you want to use the same voting system republicans want?
More political parties means a higher percentage of the population is represented by their choices in the voting booth. More people involved in the electoral process, more people engaged.
Its a win win win all around for not just the people, but also for the democratic party. More people voting means more democratic votes. The numbers dont lie. So what’s the hold up blue states?
Some day we will be able to vote for who best represents our interests. We won’t need to grovel on our knees, begging for representation in government. We won’t need to wait for the Republican party to stop existing.
We can do it right now.
Consider starting a campaign to change how we vote in your own state! It seems you are concerned people will break away from the Democratic party. you should be working towards fixing the spoiler effect in your state instead of demanding people to remain unrepresented in government.
Force our representatives to compete with fresh outside ideas. We deserve the best representation, not excuses.
Is there any evidence of that? I believe Lemmy has always had a rather large percentage of actual communists and whatever other flavor of leftist because of the nature of what lemmy actually is, a much larger percentage than reddit refugees (like myself) have been used to seeing normally. They all seem to talk in a similar way (the whole “everyone not them is a lib” thing) and do use the genocide joe thing a lot, but I honestly believe at least the majority of them are real.
This was going in the 90’s when Russia had way too many domestic proglems to care about the west. Reagan started this with his satanic panic in the 80’s and Newtgrinch made it permanent in the 90’s.

This is just the result.

Bingo!
