For me I think it has to be Russiagate. It’s just become a catch all for centrist libs to refuse to believe anything bad about their team, make up crazy conspiracies about anyone to their left or right, dismiss every contradiction of capitalism as “Russian interference”. It’s maddening. At least the RWNJ conspiracies like Q and the Alex Jones shit are usually pretty funny because of how ridiculous they are, russiagate doesn’t even have that going for it.

What are some other contenders?

    If Russia did tamper with the election, wouldn't the solution be paper ballots, banning pacs, publicly financed campaigns, and not... impeaching trump on unrelated corruption charges?

        This. I don't understand how it doesn't get more coverage. Everyone knows they stole the election in 2000. They also stole it in 2004. I mean, shit, the CEO of Diebold (maker of voting machines) and Ohio representatives promised Ohio to Bush, to which 130,000+ voters were purged in a narrow victory.

        I was always suspicious when Trump won in 2016. I'm not a fan of Russiagate, but never say never...

          I mean, we know Americans have been tampering with election results, it only makes sense that the ruling class of other countries get in on it

      The only way to prevent election tampering is ALL POWER TO THE SOVIETS
