In addition to the presidential contest, Russia, China and Cuba are looking to meddle in congressional races, the officials said.

Foreign adversaries will try to shake Americans’ confidence in the legitimacy of election results in November by giving voice to false claims or spreading their own disinformation about ballot counting, U.S. intelligence officials said Tuesday.

“As we approach Election Day, the intelligence community is also stressing that foreign efforts to undermine America’s democracy won’t end on Nov. 5,” a senior intelligence official told reporters in a virtual briefing.

In its latest assessment of foreign threats to the election, intelligence officials said the main foreign powers seeking to shape the outcome of the vote — Russia, China and Iran — also were focusing on meddling in congressional and state races.

Literally antisemitism. "Oh, Democrats are helpless to oppose Israel, they control the government through their financial witchcraft!"

The Zionism is coming from inside the house. The problem are US Zionists and they're the ones we need to defeat.

And we can beat them, if you would stop fucking voting for their apartheid, pogroms, and genocide. Do you listen to the news? Doesn't it make you want to die? I know I do.

It is very telling that you describe a massive PAC supporting a state as, since you say "antisemitism," explicitly Jewish financial witchcraft. You think millions of dollars pouring into propaganda has no effect on the 70+ million people you need to convince to switch their votes from Dem to other so that we end up with neither Dem nor MAGA in office? Be serious.

We cannot beat the system by throwing our votes in the trash. If it were unviable to end up with MAGAs in office, we would have better options. If the majority of Americans that are opposed to this shit would actually reliably vote for a viable candidate every election, we would be arguing over who will implement which progressive policies instead of which candidate will do less genocide.

I'd rather have that world, but unfortunately you and many other MAGAs love the genocide and crave more of it.

I think the money that makes a difference is coming from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and other weapons contractors that are getting unlimited billions of dollars to support Israel. The Israeli lobby is a drop in the bucket compared to the US financial backers pushing endless war. And they want WW3 and you're going to fucking vote for it, because you are in a death cult.

This is all your fault. Don't blame the Jews for mind controlling the president. You voted for this and you'll vote for it again. You are responsible, so take some fucking responsibility for your own actions.

Your solution is to just throw your hands in the air and see what Repubs do to handle Lockheed and Boeing. Holy fuck, you truly do love genocide. Like your actual priority is to make as much genocide happen as possible.

You probably shouldn't repeat your MAGA friends' ideas that Jewish people are using mind control and witchcraft. It's a bad look, sort of mask off when you are LARPing as a leftist.
