    It’s probably state and political organizations trying to influence the election by implicitly trashing the democrats, there are farms of memers from conservative countries and organizations trying to imply that the democrats are the authoritarian party to rattle the cages of voters.

    it happened in 2016 and 2020, and every American intelligence agency has been publicly cautioning voters for years that electoral manipulation through indirect methods like memes and social media posts are definitely being perpetrated by unfriendly countries and is only increasing.

    It’s a pretty interesting story that not many people talk about, but a lot of political memes on the internet are supplied by foreign state actors willfully trying to influence American elections, and in the case of 2016, successfully affected the outcome of the American election for the conservatives according to intelligence agencies.

        you’re not “calling them out”, you’re upvoting a lazy, misguided meme without any context purely to get attention.

        “You guys are spamming the whole internet with your election bullcrap”

        proof?

        Just kidding, I know you don’t have any.

        I have zero political memes in my entire history.

        “You guys are a rogue country and I hope new york gets bombed someday.”

        your cowardly nature right here is proof of your insincerity and misunderstanding of how war works.

      Don’t see the lunk between this meme and the US election. I bet this is a widely shared understanding of the situation outside the US.

        link:

        in 2016 and 2020, meme farms were established in Russia, China and Iran specifically to covertently attack the democratic party so that The conservatives in the US would seem more rational, because for an actors with intense to harm the US want the conservatives to gain power again.

        that is happening again.

        Even if OP here isn’t one of the Russian meme farmers themselves, their misunderstanding of the political conflict is undoubtedly influenced by the intentionally divisive and simplified memes flooded into American social media by bad actors.

        It’s a dead-end, lazy barely-a-thought meme and the fashionably cynical futility of American policy analysis should be confronted.

          I do not deny the very rearl, intense and dangerous activity of Russian and Chinese troll farms for Western democracies. But you cannot reduce the meme as an attack on Democrat’s policy: all US administrations after Clinton have had a one-sided approach of the conflict in Israel/Palestine. It is more visible now the IDF slaughters tens of thousands of civilians with US-supllied missiles, while keeping their own population protected under the US-supplied iron dome. One can only hope Trump loses and Harris manages to curb Netanyahu’s extremism.

            I’ve never posted a political meme, I think I’ve only ever posted one meme.

            “Are you the paid propagandist? No way somebody normal speaks like that.”

            The American government and their intelligence agencies speak like that after discovering state-sponsored meme farms in hostile countries focused on disrupting the United States elections in favor of US conservatives.

            since you already wrecked yourself, you might as well check yourself.

              Cowards love to project their problems into external causes. Your right wingers are your responsibility, idiot. Fight them and stop throwing foreigners under the bus.

              Democrats role is to enroll the disfranchised part of America and convinced them to participate in the oppression of the rest of the world. The carrot. The alternative being to get punished themselves. The stick. As usual, the carrot people are telling resistant that the stick will be their fault. You are not with the weaks. You dont give a shit about your so-called trans friend or the woman getting abortions. You are more like the capo in the gulag. The pest that turned on his own people to enforce the will of the power.

              You’re a coward and a morally bankrupted person.

        I’m gonna agree with varik here. I’ve noticed a deliberate contingent of “pro-Palestinian” who are clearly siphoning votes from Harris. They seem to be targeting naive leftists and Midwest Muslims, and they always intentionally obfuscate just how much more brutal and awful Trump would be.

      Bro, u don’t need foreign authors to do that. The very same person that did and does that there, teach Bolsonaro and his MFs to do the same in Brazil. USA problem is not foreign authors, but inside job, even when them (Trump and his followers, backed by Steve Bannon and tons of money from people like Musk) hire external actors to do so.

      One of the biggest problems of USA lies in the fact that united stadians (sorry, I refuse to call them Americans and prefer to create a name) always think that their country is being attacked, harassed and assaulted by evil external actors that wants the end of USA when these actors are, mainly, internal. And most of the externals, also hired by internal actors.

      But, I admit that it is being nice to see the end of USA as an empire (even though they will die shooting and killing millions, like we are seeing in Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, Siria, Libia and many others)

      This is not trashing democrats, and republicans would be worse. This is trashing all the ignorant peopel who don’t understand the difference.
