I believe the influence they had was insignificant
Not worth claiming “Russian influence” like a cNn-fed moron
He still would have won regardless
And he will win again in 2020, regardless
Trump didn't win the popular vote at all, he won the Electoral College vote primarily because of 7 faithless electors who did not vote Democrat, despite being pledged to. Only one EC Republican voter was faithless.
It is a hole in the EC system that because of low numbers of actual voters, it is financially possible to pay off a small number to vote faithlessly and to therefore win the vote.
This appears to be what happened in 2016. If there was electoral corruption, it points directly to the Trump campaign, not the Democrats.
Whoever told you to think this lied to you. The only thing accurate there is that Trump didn't win the popular vote. The rest of it is nonsense. Trump won by 77 electoral votes. 7 faithless electors were not the "primary" reason he won. They're not even the tertiary reason. They literally had zero impact. And there's zero evidence of any payoffs, you just made that up out of thin air.
Learn to think for yourself. You got tricked, bad. Whoever is telling you this crap is making you look like a fool.

No. He did not win because the American people were propagandised.
That’s a lie.
And if anyone of the two is comparable to Hitler, it’s hilary, the fascist.
Hitler idealized the Fascists under Mussolini and later, when Hitler had taken power, he sided with the Italian Fascist party. The Nazi's and the Fascists were extreme right-whingers and were both anti-Communist (who were extreme left-whingers).
Once again, word definitions: Definition of propaganda - Merriam Webster
LOL what???

Electoral College Members are bound by State laws.
The 2016 Electoral "Count" saw several Members "replaced" because they wanted to "Vote" against State Laws.

Can you not see the holes in the Electoral College system? If say a billionaire paid $1 million to each of 270 electors (you don't have to pay them all off) he would get the Presidency by majority. Absolutely.
How many faithless electors, prior to 2016, have ever been prosecuted? Zero.
How many have actually been prosecuted at this time? Two, who are appealing their $1,000 fines.
If you were given the choice of taking a $1 million bribe, at the risk of a $1,000 fine, Would you vote with your conscience?
... and it doesn't even have to be something obvious like a big cash payment. It could be a business deal, promotion, payrise, property purchase or sale, or even an overseas investment that pays out an annuity.
You know, the type of money laundering operations that Trump's associates Cohen and Mannafort were convicted of.
But hey, a corporation whose principals have been found guilty of crimes, having committed other undiscovered crimes, unthinkable (and why won't Trump release his tax details?).
Can you absolutely state with confidence that such vote buying could not occur?
While ever it can occur, the Electoral College system is open to corruption and while ever it is open to corruption, criminals will seek to use the loopholes. I can guarantee that with high confidence.

This is not a discussion on whether or not you like Trump or the definitions of Fascism. This is a discussion on how a single massive company aims to tamper in elections. Get on topic.

This is not a discussion on whether or not you like Trump or the definitions of Fascism. This is a discussion on how a single massive company aims to tamper in elections. Get on topic.
The Trump Organization is a single large company.
Perhaps the convictions of some of its principals for actual tampering within the electoral process during the Trump campaign might indicate that it isn't as off topic as you would like.
If we are to prosecute one, we should prosecute the other equally.
If we pretend that the Russians had no effect on electoral outcomes, we should also say that Google, similarly, has no effect on electoral outcomes.
The double-think that absolves one side and damns another is simply an unbalanced view.
Either Prosecute Google for attempting to affect electoral outcomes and prosecute the Trump Organization and the press. Or support the Constitutional right to free speech.
My call is that Google have the right to express personal and accumulated views especially if they are countering a vast disinformation campaign organized by an enemy state, that has been going on for decades.

I see that speaking to you is fruitless since all you do is conflate issues and try to steer away the conversation of the point at hand. Google is a company that will subvert proper elections. No amount of your Orange man bad detracts from that fact.
Google claims its a platform not a publisher and yet it is acting as a publisher in eliminating the free expression of one side.
Google needs to be held accountable for it's actions. This is a non partisan issue.
You want an Orange man bad thread, go make your own.
