Yeah I often wonder that. Was any of it real or attempts to encourage infighting?

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have no doubt that some of it was real, but it wasn't significant enough to swing an election.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Im not so sure of that. It would only have had to swing 3 very close states. It does not take much.

It wasn't all that close. Maybe it made a difference in Wisconsin, but I seriously doubt it would have swung any others.

wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania is what it would have took.
