Everyone who disagrees with you is a bot, probably from Russia. You are very smart.

Do you still think you're going to be allowed to vote for the next president?

I mean that's unironically the problem. When there absolutely are bots out here, how do you tell?

Sure, but you seem to be under the impression the only bots are the people that disagree with you.

There's nothing stopping bots from grooming you by agreeing with everything you say.

Where did they say that? They just said bots in general. It's well known that Russia has been running a propaganda campaign across social media platforms since at least the 2016 elections (just like the US is doing on Russian and Chinese social media, I'm sure. They do it on Americans as well. We're probably the most propangandized country on the planet), but there's plenty of incentive for corpo bots to be running their own campaigns as well.

Or are you projecting for some reason? What do you get from defending Putin?
