2020 Presidential election

[One Brow]

Yes. To be more clear, do you think that votes and opinions were swayed toward Bernie by Russian advertising and propaganda?

I have no idea. Was Russia engaging in pro-Bernie propaganda? If so, than it likely some votes were so swayed.

I'm assuming the last comment is a response to an amalgam of individuals perceived as similar in ideology due to being viewed as being on one side of an arbitrary line?

It’s in response to the spirit of our times. After all, I’m sentient and I speak English... and I’m able to understand all the times when the chief executive stands up and makes statements about how he’s been victimized.

Who has claimed Trump was not voted in during the 2016 election?

My response was to this original comment:

Especially considering the **** they pulled in 2016, and the hellish result we've been living with on a daily basis.

And my question was if it were possible that Trump won. The implication is that because of "the **** they pulled in 2016" that we've been living with "the hellish result ... on a daily basis," which I take to mean Trump being president. The originator of the intent of my questions asking if it were possible that Trump actually won by saying "Possible, yes. But they undeniably helped him."

Ah. Well, I tend to enjoy engaging with what people have actually said.

I’m confused. Are you saying that Trump doesn’t cry Victim! on the reg? Cuz I definitely hear it all the time.

Trump can speak for himself. It was me you were responding to, no?

No. I was just decrying what looked like yet another instance of poor Trump being a victim whilst expressing myself in a public forum.

Right, and I tried to clarify that by stating that it appeared as if you weren't really responding to what I was saying but to something or someone else.

Should we be basing our domestic decisions on what Russia does or does not want?

Yes. I am comfortable saying as a rule of thumb that I will not support any candidate for President that has the support of Russia1 or RT.

Not even if they siphon votes off Trump?

I don't feel comfortable making probabilistic predictions about which crazy person a group of low information voters will gravitate towards.

I'm probably one of the lowest information voters and that's the only third party candidate that's been floated (even though she herself has dismissed this -- just going with public perception for argument's sake) that I'd probably switch for.
