    undeniable evidence russia was interfering too

    I’ve seen some laughable and easily debunked garbage peddled as proof.
    “there was 500x more comments from Russian accounts during the election about the election !!!”
    LOL yes a peak in activity on a world event at the time of the event is definitely suspicious.

            LOL false dichotomy attempt.
            Cheap and embarrassing.
            As I said to some other conspiracy theorist on here:
            Show me** evidence** from credible sources.
            I’m sure this will be the last I hear from you LOL.

              There are significantly more of them, too; 85 in all. So many that Lemmy doesn’t let me paste them all in one comment. And this is only from the 2024 election. To quote someone insufferable:

              I’m sure this will be the last I hear from you LOL.

                Man you’re a clown.
                Also you’re switching accounts again, Eglin Airforce Base incompetence

                    It’s a US REGIME SOURCE.
                    Even worse than the regime press mouthpieces.
                    Obviously far from impartial.
                    And I’m not wasting my time reading all that.
                    But even then, If you actually read it I’m sure you can show me EVIDENCE for just one of all these claims I’m prepared to hear it.
                    As I asked 3 times and you failed to provide it 3 times.

                  US regime sources

                  Oh, you’re one of those. So when you say “credible source,” what you really mean is “source I already agree with.” Meaning that, to you, there is no credible source. I guess that means no, there is no proof that will satisfy you. Cool. You’ve just religioned your way into unfalsifiability, I guess.

                  you’re switching accounts again

                  Sure, believe what you want to believe. Clearly I have multiple sock puppet accounts on Lemmy to have random arguments with people about whether or not Russia did something to affect the US Presidential Election. I can’t honestly comprehend why you think I might be doing that.

                    LOL at “you’re one of those.”

                    You’re the one making claims and referring to known liars and regime mouthpieces of the US press.
                    I’m European, I don’t rely on your gutter level regime press or their ridiculous claims.

                    there is no proof that will satisfy you.

                    Really it’s not that difficult, ANY PROOF will satisfy me, as is common in discussions.
                    “sources say”, “it is believed” or whatever cheap tricks your press uses to make baseless claims are NOT PROOF.
                    I know americans swallow a lot of garbage and ‘trust me bro’ is enough for them but that doesn’t work for me.
                    I require standards and PROOF. You will fail any time when called out on your BS, as you all did now.
                    None of you have provided me with any proof.
                    Embarrassing.

        Who?

        And again, you’re making claims.
        Show me EVIDENCE and credible sources.
        Which is rarely done with these Russia conspiracy theorists

            so you could provide it in 3 seconds. I can find ZERO proof since it’s all BS and Russophobia mixed with slander from 1 of your cultist ass cheecks against the other.
            All of you (and count how many there are) are here saying look ity up, there’s proof, trust me bro, etc…
            Yet facts are none of you provided any evidence on even 1 single claim.
            Now I’m done laughing at you fools.
            I get bored of you all parrotting your cult propaganda.
            Either show me evidence or stop crying.

              I think you misunderstand. I had no obligation or intent to ‘prove’ anything to you.

              All I had to do was name one verifiable instance, (spoiler she was arrested over it) that was not just ‘russophobic BS’ and to every other viewer of this thread you lost all credibility in by refusing to research / acknowledge it.

              We can all safely dismiss you as a Russian propaganda account now. Im blocking you and suggesting everyone else do the same.

                Hilarious. Sure make idiotic claims that you can’t back up when called out.
                NONE of you provided any evidence.

                name one verifiable instance,

                Shitipedia with sources NYT, WaPo or known liars from the regime press.

                We can all safely dismiss you as a Russian propaganda account now. Im blocking you and suggesting everyone else do the same.

                That’s right, make more baseless claims and weasel out like the coward you are because you fail to back up your BS.
                You’re an embarrassment.
