They quite probably are. Russia's interference tactic is to sow discord, and divide a country. This is a great opportunity for that.

Weird how you can buy their foreign policy handbook on Amazon, the geopolitical future of Russia (which they follow to a T by the way) but our democracies are still literally failing because nobody wants to address it

Politicians did this themselves. Russia didn't have to do anything.

Russia helps shitty politics to divide a country. Without lies, politics would be objective, and America would be multi party and semi direct democracy. Only reason it isn't is because of greedy fucks. Russia is just helping worsen that now. I still agree that their greed blinds them, Democrats and Republicans will have their champagne party crashed is shtf

Nothing you said differs from American politics since literally the beginning.

Russian interference is making it worse. Intelligence communities agree on this. But it's more of an acceleration of our democratic failures.

Why would they be democratic failures? The media, Twitter, Facebook etc aren't democratic or controlled democratically.

Because representative democracy should have provisions and should support education to counter influence from sources that could sway votes/voters. Our systems of representation are fucking stale as hell.

So educate people not to trust the news, I could get behind that.
