      I was telling my dad about all of the good that was accomplished thanks to the USSR and he made some snarky quip about how it doesn't seem like they've been a force of good in recent years. Well yeah, Dad, they collapsed like three decades ago...

    Because the silicon valley fascists were prepared to tip the scales in Bidens favour

    They did this by blacking out the Hunter Biden emails and pictures showing him as a crackhead

    You couldn't even share pictures of Hunter Biden in private messages on Twitter

    Guess Putin just fell asleep at the wheel like an idiot and didn't set an alarm telling him to hack into the voting machines and delete the system32 files 🤷🏼‍♂️

    We might to be honest, although I think that they've flogged that particular dead horse down to the bone really so it'll probably be the same thing but in a different package. Trouble is that even people who'd willingly believe that Russia actually genuinely influenced the election to the point it tipped the balance against Clinton are getting a bit tired of it now and are probably being asked all sorts of uncomfortable questions like "if election meddling is so bad then why does the US keep doing it?" and "Where's the actual concrete proof that this is more sophisticated than a couple hundred paid agitators working out an industrial unit on the outskirts of Vladivostok?"

    They will pick something else though, they have to. And I don't think it'll be an internal thing like BLM or Bernie in the long term - outside weird twitter bubbles that everyone, themselves included, takes far too seriously. BLM or Bernie being blamed raises far, far too many awkward questions when it comes to why the Dems spent so long chasing "moderate" republicans instead of what's historically been their support base of ethnic minorities and people who maybe want some nicer things like not dying of lack of healthcare.

    It needs to be an external actor because something needs to take the blame. The dems didn't win this election, they just lost the least badly and there's an important distinction. The Democrat party has utterly, totally shat the bed on this. Not only was Trump unelectable in 2016, he's had an extra four years where he's completely fucked up running the country. He hasn't even managed to raise to the bar of what is, when all the power's stripped away, basically a job no more difficult than a middle management position. After four years it looks like the Dems might squeak a win by the skin of their teeth but they're clearly losing a lot of their voter base they've taken for granted and they've not got the senate.

    Now they have two choices really. They can either try to mend some of the damage that their absolute fuckup of a campaign did or they can find someone else to blame. We know they're not going to do the first one, so it'll be the second. An external, foreign agitator would be very handy for them. They might actually default to Russia to be honest, cos the last I heard China were kinda hoping for a Biden win. China might be quite a hard sell.

      Honestly, I could easily see a significant segment of dem voters accepting that China's to blame without ever pausing to wonder if the theory makes any sense. After all, China bad.

    Republicans haven't picked it back up yet. Give it time, and we'll hear about how Biden is too soft on Russia, and maybe Putin wanted Biden to win anyway cause he's a dementia riddled old fool. Just give it time... The parties are about to switch sides with the Russia crap.

      I think the GOP is more likely to push an equally-bullshit Chinagate. Maybe some Ukrainegate too for good measure 🤷

        Highly doubt it with China. They're not as obsessed with China as people on here are. Ukraine, maybe.

        More than anything though, conservatives are just going to attack Biden the same way they did Obama for "being too soft on China and making us look WEAK!!" and "letting Putin walk all over him, just like Obama! SOFT!!"

        The headlines write themselves. I can hear it right now cause we heard this same shit over and over and over all through 2010-2016.

          The Republicans are just going to do what they planned to do under Hillary. In 2016, all signs were pointing towards a recession in 2017 or early 2018. The GOP went with Trump because it was like a House money bet. They figured he would lose, they wouldn't have to sacrifice a rising star, and then they could tank Queen Hillary and win big in the 2018 midterms then take back the Presidency in 2020. When Trump won in 2016, the tax cuts were like a sugar rush to keep things going. The rush to fill judge seats was like a gambling addict paying off his debts after an impossible score.

          Ultimately, the Republicans made out like bandits this election cycle, and with Trump in general. They held the Senate easily and will gain seats in the House during a Pandemic/crisis while they were in charge. More broadly, they made seemingly-impossible inroads with voters of color (especially Hispanics). When you out Joe's performance in context, the Dems look like they are in big trouble moving forward.

          You're right, regardless of what Biden or Kamala do, the right are gonna say they're soft and are undermining US dominance, just like with Obama. I don't know if foreign interference will be the "angle" this time around or not. Far-right online message boards are making nebulous "commies" out to be the enemy, which can mean almost anyone or anything, but I don't know if that's indicative of the GOP as a whole. It's also possible that there will be a larger bipartisan push for China as the national enemy rather than it being fodder for dem-v-gop mudslinging.

    Because they didn't hack anything in 2016 either. It was in the interests of the bourgeoisie to have Trump ram through easing up of economic and environmental restrictions, and further the normalisation of state violence, now when it's all done he can be used as a scapegoat for any discontent while the new regulations are enshrined. Divide & conquer - the eternal ploy.

    Because Biden is winning. If Trump takes the lead again it will be because of Putin, but if he loses it proves that american democracy works
