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 I had to choose one, it'd be the use of obviously disingenuous and politically motivated accusations of anti-semitism made against the left by liberals that were used to destroy Corbyn and substantially weaken the position of the UK left, as well as, the concomitant creation of a situation in which, in the UK at least, it is close to impossible to publicly express solidarity with Palestinians while retaining a public platform. At least the Russian government actually sucks - even if Russiagate is largely bullshit designed to break liberal boomer's brains and distract them from the fact that the Dems have nothing to offer to anyone who isn't a board member of Goldman Sacs. The anti-semitism stuff is literally a bunch of blatantly racist and islamophobic liberals throwing out apologia for genocide, while calling those trying to build resistance against it fascists.
