Dude read the 38 page indictment of the GRU national that had a 35 million USD budget to attack the left. The attack is completely targeted at getting the right pissed off at the left. If you think a dictator paying for propaganda is spending it on a fair attack on both sides you're crazy bro, they have a real interest in having as hard right a leader as possible as POTUS.

But you're 100% right it is working and has been since at least 2016!

I'm not saying it's being done equally, I'm saying that the goal is to create chaos -- not to support one candidate or another.

I'll give you at least this one, https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-much-did-russian-interference-affect-the-2016-election/

It's hard to measure if anything.

I don't think that these kremlin bots are rooting for any particular side,
It's a crazy world out there, the Russians are succeeding.

To the OP I don't think any of the IRA bots are actually here, not enough bang for their buck.

I don't think that these kremlin bots are rooting for any particular side, it seems as if they're just trying to make the American electorate divided over so many issues -- and if we're looking at the US right now we see that they're without a doubt succeeding in at least that quest. Politics has NEVER been such a polarizing issue, people will literally stop talking to one another (family, close friends, etc) if you don't align with their political views.

It's a crazy world out there, the Russians are succeeding.

A few days ago, Twitter posted a database of tweets from a Russian "bot factory". Activity schedule in Russian (orange) and in English (red).
The orange peak is the period of the annexation of Crimea and downing Boeing MH17 over Donbas and the high red activity is the US presidential election.
As we know massive activity spotted at Facebook, Youtube, Reddit etc.
So I wonder is any kremlinbots being caught here at bitcointalk or nobody cares?

For those who interested:
the whole database is here https://about.twitter.com/en_us/values/elections-integrity.html#data
