Freeloading Social media influenza
For someone who claims to be "outta here on this thread", you're still doing a lotta typing, D_W.
You appear to have swallowed the party line in a big way. Have you ever heard of 77 Brigade? It's a British army internet assault unit, specifically designed to keep us all safe from democracy. From wikipedia:I would put more credence in the latter. There are massive, and very sophisticated operations, with huge buildings full of people, in Russia (and China, Iran and a dozen other places) logged into social media 24x7 peddling fake news in the form of conspiracy theories. Their purpose is to polarize the American population, foment hate and destabilise western democracy. On recent evidence, I'd say they are doing a pretty good job.
We are sleepwalking into an apocalypse.
The Brigade uses social media such as Twitter and Facebook as well as psyop techniques to influence populations and behaviour. David Miller, a professor of political sociology at the University of Bristol who studies British government propaganda and public relations, said that it is "involved in manipulation of the media including using fake online profiles".[25][26][27]

That's just one of many UK based government run departments who have a specific remit to create fake news, change opinion and generally muddy the waters. Its not just government, because we have moved to a facist private/public partnership style of unelected, unaccountable systems of NGOs and people like Integrity Initiative.The USA has way more of the same. Most western nations also play the game, with the 5 eyes nations being top of the heap. Then, as you say, you have the nation's who suffer at the hands of these groups using countermeasures. Sometimes I wonder how many accounts on the internet are real - take out all the bots, and the government propaganda merchants, and the foreign intelligence agencies, and it is entirely possible that there is no real discourse on the internet at all. It's all just propagandists trying to trick each other.
Here's how the British government spends taxpayer money abroad: REVEALED: The British government’s covert propaganda campaign in Syria
What's to stop foreign governments doing the same in the UK? Or the USA, for that matter...
Anyone got any wooden things to show us? Or metal, if that's your thang - no bias here, friends

There was no substance to the whole russian rigging thing, just as there is none to the election rigging.
I suspect Harris is going to be casting decisive votes almost every week because the respective parties will simply vote down hard party lines
Snip putinist shilling
I think that is right in the short term, but there is a good chance that the US will no longer be a two party country. GOP is going to be torn between the decent conservative democrats and the proto-fascist white supremacy wing trump has attached to it, those two are really not compatible.
But the novelty is wearing off, and I'll leave you guys to queen/soccer/pub soon!!
I would agree that the possibility of the GOP splitting is quite possible, which will also guarantee neither of them ever gets into power again.
It'll never happen solely for that reason. If you could split and retain power, the progressive and centrist democrats (who hate each other) would split.
Have you read the (bipartisan) Senate Intelligence Committee Report?
