Tucker Carlson has always, and I do mean always (for practical purposes) has one of the best reads of the direction of travel in national politics. He was one of the first to get on the America First wagon, and saw the potential Trump represented in national politics in 2015. They understood this because they had the ability to read the room with regard to the latent frustration people had with **both** Republicans and Democrats in that time period.

Tucker Carlson propagates Kremlin propaganda that has been used to shape American politics.

I point out that the only reason he has “the best reads of the direction of travel in national politics” is because the Kremlin has actively been shaping national politics using propagandist like Tucker.

The only thing Tucker is reading is Kremlin talking points and you are trying to claim otherwise.

You are trying to claim Tucker’s Kremlin propaganda to is not Kremlin propaganda but instead it is “the best reads of the direction of travel in national politics” and to convince others in this thread that we should not be put off by the Kremlins support for this candidate.

Iran is an ally of Russia and the infrastructure Irans been using to help Russia is being attacked. Cherry picking pros doesn’t mean there aren’t any cons

Insane how? Tucker is a Russian asset. He gave Putin a platform and parroted Kremlin talking points.

He has always been a support of other Russian assets like Trump.

It is insane to pretend he isn’t a Russian asset

Seems like you’re implying that Lemvotes somehow disproves the existence of bots and brigading lmao

Trump won because of election interference from Russia.

Key Evidence and Methods of Russian election interference:

• Cyber Hacking: Russian military intelligence (the GRU) hacked the computer networks of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), and key campaign officials like John Podesta, subsequently releasing stolen data via outlets like WikiLeaks, DCLeaks, and Guccifer 2.0. [1, 2]
• Social Media Disinformation: The St. Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency (IRA) used hundreds of fake social media personas, bot networks, and purchased advertisements to amplify divisive political and social issues, masquerading as U.S. citizens to sway public discourse. [1, 2]
• Targeting Election Infrastructure: Russian cyber actors scanned and probed state voter registration databases and election systems across multiple states ahead of the 2016 election, though vote tallies were not altered. [1, 2]
• Criminal Indictments: Federal grand juries indicted dozens of Russian nationals and military intelligence officers for computer hacking, identity theft, and conspiracy against the United States. [1, 2]

Official Findings

• Intelligence Community Assessments: Concluded that the Russian leadership developed a clear preference for Donald Trump and aimed to denigrate Hillary Clinton while undermining public faith in the American democratic process. [1, 2]
• Bipartisan Senate Findings: Confirmed the extensive nature of these foreign cyber and influence operations, noting coordination between online Russian fronts and active distribution channels

This logic is how Trump (the previous Kremlin choice) was elected.

You know who else is Rabidly against the Iran war? Iran, Russia, North Korea and China…

Tucker Carlson has a documented history of downplaying Russian aggression, echoing Kremlin talking points, and securing a high-profile interview with Vladimir Putin.

Key Milestones

• Dismissing the War: Shortly before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Carlson characterized the escalating conflict merely as a “border issue” and called Ukraine a “puppet of Washington”.
• The Moscow Interview: In February 2024, Carlson traveled to Moscow and became the first Western media figure to interview Vladimir Putin since the 2022 invasion.
• The History Lecture: During the two-hour interview, Putin spent a lengthy portion delivering an unchallenged historical monologue regarding Russia’s claims to Ukraine, which Carlson later stated left him “shocked” and “baffled”.
• The Aftermath and Reception: Critics, including former U.S. officials, labeled the interview a propaganda tool, while Russian state media heavily amplified Carlson’s visit to combat narratives of international isolation.

Everyone reading this should remember the account names promoting this candidate as they are likely Russian bots

Tucker Carlson the Russia asset? At least we know who the Kremlin wants to get elected.

This is how you get Fetterman, Sinema, Machin part 2

you’re now accusing me of being a GOP shill

Nope, I’m stating a fact: you’re using the same talking points the GOP uses

you are now arguing in bad faith

Bad faith arguments are when you lie about what could be done to pretend dems didn’t do enough.

Just know the gaslighting is why the actual left will push most of the libs out of the Dem party, then break and leave them high and dry when the time comes.

Wow you speak for “the actual left”? Are they in the room right now?

When Dems refuse to use the same tactics as the gop to aggressively fight and get their way, they will always lose.

So you feel dems should commit an insurrection to stay in power turning this country into a dictatorship? Dems should promise tax cuts to billionares like Elon Musk so they pay voters to vote for their party? Dems should claim election fraud when there is none to degrade the integrity of our election system? Dems should try to throw out votes that aren’t for them? Dems should remove regulations for the fossil fuel industry and many others to get access to their propaganda machine? Dems should make it harder to vote for the voters that don’t agree with them so they can win without the support of the people?

“If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy”

This is what you think Dems should emulate while you claim to speak on behalf of “the actual left”.

But you clutch your pearls when I point out that you’re saying the same shit as the GOP.

I want to you take a long and hard look at Schumer, Manchin, Pelosi, Jeffries and their ilk, and see what they’re up to nowadays. Tell me with a straight face they’re fighting for their constituents. Explain to me how they ever cared about leftism or progressivism.

I want you to take a long and hard look at Sinema, Fetterman, Cotham, Gabbard, Adam’s and their ilk, and see what they’re up to nowadays. Tell me with a straight face they’re fighting for their constituents. Explain to me how they ever cared about leftism or progressivism.

By cherry picking the actions of the individual like you are I can use your bad faith argument to claim that progressives are doing the same things you blame the entire Democratic Party for.

Because you’re arguing in bad faith.

They could easily pushed to ban him from running again via simply majority.

This take isn’t based in reality. Trump still had enough voters to win another election and the support of the Supreme Court.

They needed more than 7 Republican for the 2/3rd majority.

They failed to enact section 3 of the 14th amendment, which they had the ability to do, and lost the opportunity when the Supreme Court ruled on Trump vs. Anderson.

You said it yourself the Supreme Court ruled that section 3 of 14th amendment couldn’t be used so obviously it never would’ve made it past the Supreme Court. Especially since Trump was able to delay the insurrection charge using Judges that he put into place. So there was never an insurrection charge to use for the section 3.

For you to lie and claim that these things are possible despite the proof otherwise shows your intent to blame dems for the actions of Trump and the GOP. A common GOP shill tactic.

They chose not to steamroll the investigation proceedings, as they didn’t want to be seen as “partisan.” The “Olive branch” strategy is the dumbest strategy against an opponent who is will to go scorched earth, and punish their opposition, once they gain power.

Using propaganda Trump convinced the majority of voters that every attempt to hold him accountable has been a partisan witch hunt. It has been successful enough to get him reelected even with felony charges.

There are still people who think Covid was made up just to hurt Trump.

Again, for you to pretend otherwise shows your true intention. To redirect blame for GOPs actions onto democrats. A common GOP bot tactic.

To top it all off, the party’s message of “Trump sucks vote for us,” without addressing the real economic frustrations at the time was one of the biggest failures.

This wasn’t the message at all. Matter of fact Harris campaigning to tax billionares is what caused Elon Musk to start paying people to vote GOP.

Progressive platforms turn out voters, polls show they’re consistently popular with a majority of voters.

Elections results showed any poll you might be referring to was wrong.

That’s not the message Dems were selling.

Why would the dems sell the message “progressive platforms turn out voters” when progressives can’t win enough elections or even have enough candidates to support the claim. Who would this message be directed to? It isn’t the dems jobs to tell voters who is popular. It is their job to try and win the elections. Something progressive haven’t been able to do on a nationwide scale. But democrats have.

they did a really lousy job of making it be known

It was literally the main talking point against Trump. It didn’t work because the majority of voters don’t know economics so when the GOP propaganda machine blamed Biden who was in office at the time, for the lingering economic fallout of Trump’s Covid response, voters didn’t know any better.

who had the power to convict all the traitors after the 2020 election when this was initially suspected and why wasn’t it done?

Congress had the power but Republicans supported the traitors so Democrats couldn’t get the 2/3rds need to impeach.

Why were there no real repercussions for any of it?

Because republicans loaded the jusdicial system with crooked judges that helped buy Trump time to get reelected and avoid consequences.

Still asking for democrats to throw away their votes on a 3rd party because you think both sides are the same eh?

That’s how Trump got elected a 2nd term. But that’s probably why you’re still pushing that narrative.
