Everyday the media, the Democrat candidates and some Republicans
are claiming that Russia is trying to influencing the US 2020 election.

Claims are made that Russia is aiding both Trump and Sanders.

Here's my question:

Exactly *how* is Russia doing this?Â*Â* I see nothing on the only
social media platform that I use, Facebook, yet claims are made
that Russia targets it and other social media sites.

Has anyone actually read or witnessed this "influence" that
everyone keeps talking about?Â*Â* I certainly have not.


Heh heh heh heh.


Good answer.


There's been no shortage of news coverage of what the Russkies are doing
to help Trump with fake reports on social media and attempts to hack
into state election boards.


I know. I've been hearing all the news coverage and claims by politicians.

My question is:

Has anyone actually *seen what* the Russians
are doing to accomplish this?

Again, I hear all about that they are attempting to do so
but nobody offers any hard evidence of *how* or *what* they
are actually doing.

Serious question.



I've personally witnessed nothing. In fact, the only recent social media meme I recall is a false one that is against Bernie, although I'll admit that I don't participate much in that arena.

The only real Russian hacking that I've seen are the reports from 2016 that they did it. There are claims that they are doing it again, but I've seen no credible reports that it has actually happened at this time.

I have little doubt that they will try again, but right now it appears it's just the usual suspects trying to whip up a frenzy. AKA "fake news".


The anti-Bernie meme could just as easily been posted by the DNC. They
don't want him to get the nomination.
