Their bullshit cost us many good members and a good community.

(7,725 posts)What is JPR?
Are they going to hack it again you think?
Should we worry about our phones and computers coming here?
really chaps my ass that the gop has facilitated this.
Wait until the American charges come.....Soon hopefully. Every little bit helps. Wasn't Rogie Stone the big Guccifer guy/connection? Cambridge Analytic could be the "pass through' . NRA should be real nervous and Im glad they will be.

(20,577 posts)had the look of what could have been Russian propaganda. As I recall, it was heavy on symbols, dark, and brutal. I wish we could find out the story behind that.

(89,249 posts)we now know how much the russians were involved in the election so knowing what we know now it's not hard to believe it could be russian connected .

(1,148 posts)I've been following leftist politics for about thirty years, and this is not good leftist practice at all. It's like these people are lazy and don't really study what it means to be "left". You have to support and defend democracy, for one thing - even if it means defending candidates who aren't left-wing enough for you. For another, I keep reading stuff on twitter from these lefties who DENY that Russia is any sort of problem or threat. Meanwhile, left-wingers and other activists in Russia and Europe in general vociferously oppose Putin as oppressive. Why are they so afraid of doing so? Anyone with a social conscience should care about Russia and Putin. It's sickening to read.
I've been to so many activist meetings where they warn about infiltrators and how you shouldn't do anything that would lend support to the opposition, and it's like they've never encountered this argument, and I question their experience and commitment.

(23,340 posts)There are still plenty of vehement opinions from low-postcount members. Not that it means anything of course.
It's beginning to look like "race discussions" may be the pry-bar for this election season. Much vehemence there, at this time.
I've visited JPR, even signed up. It's too bizarre, I had to walk away (with no goodbye-cruel-world post).
