    It’s 8:25 AM in Moscow, another beautiful day, blue skies, snow on the ground. Just woke up, got my sip of coffee, in time to be at work at 9AM working my good-paying steady union job at the KGB shitposting and bamboozling boomers on facebook. Probably gonna log off at 1pm and take my kids cross country skiing.

    I know this is about America but they were peddling the same shit here in Canada. People, and I believe officials too, were claiming that there was “Chinese interference” in our elections.

      Chinese interference is when you have unaddressed domestic issues you’d rather ignore and the more you have the more interference they are doing.

          Same with the mayor of Vancouver, some city councillors, some MPs, etc. It was a full on racist witch-hunt that only seemed to simmer down once some spies from India shot a guy and broke the narrative.

    But please ignore the zionist lobby’s open interference including candidates openly thanking them for their endorsements and openly pledging as a platform plank their support for the apartheid state.

    I love how utterly myopic libs are here. They’re actively destroying trust in the political system in order to win the election. The whole system is fundamentally a social contract that requires majority of the population to believe that elections are fair in order to accept the results. Once you get to the point where people no longer believe that elections are fair then there’s no reason to accept the party you don’t support holding power. These people are actively helping create the conditions that will ultimately result in the unravelling of the entire political system.

      What’s great about that is they also have the gall to insult and roll their eyes at Republicans screaming about “stolen elections” which is just the flip side of their “Russian/Chinese disinfo altered the election” coin. And of course if you dig into the Republican claim, part of it is usually predicated on “Dems used massive amount of undocumented immigrants to swing the vote” which is just another kind of racist “foreigners are changing our elections” in the exact same vein where it matters as the Dem’s Russophobia and Sinophobia.

    When I was a kid, my peers had largely lost faith in our democratic system because it didn’t seem like it mattered who we voted for: the conservative elements in society always triumphed, even when they lost. Obama winning didn’t change shit, the Forever War continued. No local elections mattered because the state I live in is so thoroughly Republican, it was like pissing in the wind. Yet, we were always told to have faith and vote.

    Fast forward to now, and the reason people are losing faith in our democracy is because they think foreigners are manipulating everything to make the other side win. I should have guessed some insane, xenophobic conspiracy theory was the only way for people to question our system.

    Interesting that this just seems to be the way of things going forwards. How many elections can they have where both sides are accusing the other of election fraud before the whole system comes crashing down?

    Russia and China don’t need to deepen divisions, Democrats already do that enough by caping for genocide and neocolonialism-- I don’t want to count myself among that number; and death to their ‘nation’ for trying to cudgel me into supporting it.

    Damn, i guess the US elections are gonna require international monitors for their elections to make sure they’re free and fair. Otherwise it’s not a democracy and instead an authoritarian ccp colony and anything else is russian dezinformatsiya.

    Anyone who believes these things is a potential traitor to the United States, because they have no faith in the American political system.😁
