If Mike Bloomberg’s $500,000,000+ spending on political ads didn’t do the trick in 2020, how could Russia’s $250,000 ad spend (1/2,000th of Bloomberg’s) in 2016 sway the election to Trump?
Nope, it's unleavened sophistry. Case A: Bloomberg enters race too late; most voters are already leaning elsewhere. Case B: Russian Ads were a small part of widespread social media campaign to hurt Hillary.
BTW, how does anyone know how the amount of Russian ad buys? How much collusion is acceptable?
Are you still a “Russia, Russia, Russia” kook? I think the Mueller Report said how much Russia spent ... and also said that there was no evidence of any voters being influenced.

This poser fallaciously implies a linkage between two events.
ReplyDeleteHere's an analogy:
Russia has reported zero cases of Covid19
Should Bloomberg move to Russia?
You lost me with your forced analog ...
ReplyDelete...because there is no causal linkage between the two events.
ReplyDeleteHuge amount of money spent to influence election = no effect
ReplyDeleteSmall amount of money to influence election = huge effect?
This should be enough yeast to rise any bread

ReplyDeleteAnd you accuse Trump of being a birther ...
