Scared for fate the of western democracy
I was just reading about Russia's interference in Canadian politics - using disinformation to spread right wing lies. They were using both Jordan Peterson and Tucker Carlson as proxies. Putin has used disinformation for years to destabilize democracy in the west. Both Brexit and the first (hopefully last) Trump administration would not have happened without Putin's disinformation campaign.
Now the same gruesome campaign is being waged against Harris/Walz. It is INSANE to me that so many on the right and far left support Putin. We are in great danger of losing our democracy and some people don't even seem to care. In fact almost 50% of the public and large swaths of young people won't even vote. I am freaking that their ignorance and apathy many lead to the end of democracy in America.
How the fuck did we get here?

Race. That’s how. If Russians looked like Somalian people, the stupid ass crackers here in the states wouldn’t love it.

There must be something in the water. How the hell does someone like Trump become President? He'll do whatever Putin wants.

Today on NPR they were interviewing some "undecided" voter frau and she said "I know we might lose some of our rights under Trump, but gas and groceries were so much more affordable when he was in office."
Unfuckingbelievable.

I'm really sick to death of feeling like I can't believe most of the news. People like that jerk Tucker Carlson, and others, too. It's hard to tell who else is putting out disinformation as well. I also wish actors like George Clooney would stfu, too. Yes, I know Putin has done a lot of serious meddling in elections around the world. It's disheartening and plants doubts, and I guess that's his objective. To destabilize countries, but I don't believe he's the only one. It'll never end, and it's hard to know who to believe about anything.

Why set your sights so low, when the the sky's the limit? Maximize your drama and be scared for the fate of the planet, the solar system, the universe, alternate dimensions...

How do you feel about the serious meddling in elections around the world done by the US over the decades?

It’s easy to ridicule the OP for being histrionic but I’m actually scared too. There is a possibility she will win the popular vote and lose the EC. I could tell by the mainstream media’s narrative lately, that’s what they anticipate will happen. But what does it all mean. It means a lot actually. If Trump wins law & order is out the window. It also validates January 6th. He cannot win. It’s not being a Mary or scary liberal at this point. If he wins America is over.

Russia fucked with Canadian politics?
Not even Canadians care about Canadian politics.

Don't blame your shitty candidate on Putin. He didn't pick her.

It’s xenophobic but maybe tying them to disinformation will make it harder for their crap to be noticed.

The disinformation campaign is being actively helped and amplified on social media by owner oligarchs like Musk and Zuckerberg - particularly Musk.

I’m scared as shit too. But to save what is left of my sanity I had to stop watching the news , even morning Joe and all the rest.
I will vote. All I can do. When I get multiple emails a day from Act Blue etc., I delete and report junk.
I fantasize about starting to drink if Trump gets in, but I’m already so old … why rush it???

OP then do something other than bitch on the Internet to people that already agree with for the most part 100%. Get off your ass, do something, enlist, and be ready to fight Putin when the time comes. Or stay on DL and talk a lot.
We can assume you are ready to do your part and be ready to fight?

R26 and yet we have 10000s of US troops training hard so they can kick Putin’s ass when the time comes. Other Americans sit on their ass and whine and bitch on the Internet.
Despite posting on DL life is not totally someone’s movie.
