Why the hell do any of us care about the CPAC interpretation of foreign election interference?

I mention a few on my thread about this yesterday:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219952426

First, is it just me or are you unaware that what we're undergoing in the U.S. is not uncommon? There is an effort worldwide and here is a BBC article that should bring you a little bit up to date:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68797624

And that link is 10 months old! There have been articles about individual nations day after day! Search it for yourself if you don't believe me. Here's your search term ( democratic nations election interference ) but you can make up one of your own by adding whatever nation you want to check into.

Why should we care? So many reasons that I can't possibly list them all, but for starters, their system is not as dysfunctional as ours. This is how EI should be dealt with. Also, you will note that on my post from yesterday, there is a report about the truckers in Canada and that is already known to have U.S. rightwing influence, Tucker Carlson to say the very least. Then there are the Proud Boys plus the Oath Keepers who most likely were involved in the convoy into Canada. And who did trump just let out of prison?

I could go on but I don't think I need to.

7. I resent your accusation that I am unaware of this effort worldwide. I did not know the Canadian acronym

DONE!

Go insult someone else.

Look at your own post. You give no reason whatsoever to believe you have much knowledge about the situation.

9. Why on earth are you attacking me? Being so rude for no reason whatsoever?

I recall no negative prior episodes with you--in fact, I thought we were pretty much closely aligned in the past.

Put me on ignore if you are going to be so abrasive, condescending and accusatory toward me. Unbelievably unwarranted...

no hostility intended and fwiw, when I answer a post it's as much for other posters as the person I responded to.

11. So you are abusive to posters to garner personal attention--as you say you "answer posts for others?"

but it's not worth it to me to explain it. Take however way you want. I'm through with this discussion because it's just taking up my time with no visible point to me.
