    For those keeping score:

    Foreign bots on social media: bad

    Foreign money being used to finance political campaigns, lobbying, etc.: totally fine

    (Note: I agree bot farms are bad, but that is a very low effort and bad faith argument for what she is arguing for)

      Imagine rhetorically competent fascists. That’s terrifying!
      The common rabble can’t see through their flimsy lies as is. They’d be completely out of their depth if republicans took even just an introductory class to discussion and rhetorics.

        You sound like you think you’re really above a lot of people here. Be careful with that, its how they got there.

          It was a deliberate choice of words intended to reflect and emphasise what they might think of the average voter. But good looking out.

      She’s just pandering to the Elon crowd.
