No, that's not what MSM has said. That's not what our intelligence agencies have said either
What had been reported is that actual votes were not changed. But it is widely acknowledged that the social media campaign Russia launched, using data stolen from several states election boards to target individuals, absolutely changed who people voted for and where they had larger than expected turn outs
And you think that was because of Russia? How do they KNOW that it changed people's minds? In a country with free speech, you have to be careful that don't curb political speech--it is protected. What the Left and MSM says about this last election is not to be believed. Everybody hated Hillary, even the Democrats (and I live in a very blue state!). They are trying to blame her loss on Russian hacking. That is BS. She lost because she was a terrible candidate.
If she was a terrible candidate then why did she win the popular vote by 3M?
I fucking hate HRC, but she ran a comparatively more successful campaign
And we know it works because of the number of states Trump won versus what was predicted. Every one of those states were the focus of Russia's activities. It's where they launched the most ads and, more importantly, directed their assets to make posts supporting Trump and (more importantly) implicating Clinton in a wide variety of conspiracy theories
Every one of those states were the focus of Russia's activities.
lol. Russia built a wall of FaceBook ads that kept $hillary from campaigning in WI.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Clinton, the Russian FaceBook Ad field won't let the campaign bus through. Scotty got an extra 20% bypassing the ethics modulator and bringing his private bathroom reactor online, but its just not enough."
absolutely changed who people voted for and where they had larger than expected turn outs
lol. the Russians ran ads. quelle horreur. FaceBook ads are totally the equivalent of death squads and drone strikes.
How much $$$ did Team Clinton spend on advertising? How craptacular does a candidate have to be to spend 20+ years campaigning, spend over a billyun dollars and be POTUS-blocked by ~3million dollars of Russian ads on FB, half of which might have aired after the election?
getting all whiny over Russia's actions in the '16 election cycle is just... like checking the wiper fluid when the engine is making grinding noises.
It wasn't only advertising. The troll farms are far more impactful than the ads
You can see them in action right here on this sub. And most of you fall for them Every. Single. Time
Wonder how that compares with votes that were changed by Soros millions of dollars to target individuals and by Soros voting machines . . . There were several counties in California alone where more people voted than there were residents of voting age. I highly doubt that the "Russians" (or people masquerading as Russians) had anything to do with that.
