Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?

Of course, the US government has a stronger propaganda platform in the US than Russia has in the US. Political parties are not the US government though, so it’s not really relevant to how a political party can promote a message.
It’s almost as if despite this being shown across all media, a massive amount of voters were still manipulated by foreign & right-wing propaganda into ignoring/dismissing it.
Or they just didn’t see it or pay attention or they didn’t believe Trump would do it based on their own reasoning. People can believe different things from you without the need to insert a malicious actor to explain the disagreement.
But ok, your position is that nobody has both the willingness or capability to counter foreign/right-wing propaganda. So, as I’ve asked several times now, what is your solution to this situation? Because it seems like your solution is just to whine about the situation.

There’s nothing “of course” about this statement. All evidence points to Russia having a better handle on the US populations opinion than the US.
I’m not here to generate solutions, no idea why you keep asking for one. The US has a unique issue with propaganda because of the first amendment, there’s no easy solution other than people smartening up and social media companies taking more responsibility for their content via fact checkers etc.

Then your political position is worthless on it’s face.

You can point out an issue without pretending to have a solution. Do you read the retarded shit you type?

Yeah, if you just want to wallow in misery and jack off about how right you are.
