    Tee hee .. it's funny that you think being interested in politics means activism. That's the OPPOSITE of being interested in politics - that's just ideological adherence to a specific political orthodoxy.

    Those genuinely interested in politics are almost always either non-partisan, or strongly centrist. And they're interested in ALL politics.

    I'm not complaining! Well, I am ... but since the duds aren't in power it's kinda harmless :)

    And it never occurred to you that YOU meet your own criteria for suspicion?

    Nor that quite a lot of Australians post here?

    Cool :)

    I think what you will find over time is that Trump supporters are followers.
    So as Russian interference is identified you will see it has been parroted. It doesn't mean they are foreign trolls - just followers.

    Didn't read thread. OP post is not just a LW Irony Universe banging into existence, but 10,000,000,000 LW Irony Universes joining it from other dimensions.

    But to the topic, YES there are MANY obvious paid shills on this forum. Many are U.S. based pay to post Brock/Soros and public union PR (SEIU/NEA/Teamsters) shills, many more are paid by foreign interests. All of them represent special interests that want to wet their beak ever more in the gigantic annual U.S. tax revenue pool. Few, very few if any, are from the private sector or RW interests.

    This forum is international.
    Lot of people in United States hate American policies, there is no need look abroad.

    There are lots of hate filled Americans.. mostly on the extreme left. And a few on the far "right" most Americans are centrists somewhere between bill clinton and George Bush 1.
    I think very few people are happy with the reps or dems at the moment.
    Problem is few good people run for political office.

    What would the GRU gain from sending a bunch of "trolls" to an isolated and largely unknown Internet forum where a set few autist Americans post the same threads over and over again?

    Get yourself together - The monsters under your bed are not real.

    I am not saying foreign intervention is not an actual thing. Of course it is, but I seriously doubt it happens on this silly platform.

    I am one of the foreigners on this forum and am actually deeply flattered that the OP thinks I work for the Russian Intelligence Service. :)
