You are almost there but you are still slightly missing the point I’m trying to make.
Considering the fact that it is part of Russias strategy to polarize American politics to extremes
It is a specifically Russian strategy to demoralize the opposition through misinformation campaigns and the use of false flags.
A false leftist promoting a (on the surface) seemingly leftist point of view designed to disrupt and demoralize is within the Russian playbook. Case in point: Russians promoting both Blue Lives Matters and Black Lives Matters simultaneously, while specifically advocating for violence and otherwise making the discussion worse.
Now consider the messages that got out (and worked) in the last month of this election. Who created large arguments across Lemmy (pretending to be leftist) that Kamala is just as bad as Trumpon this issue?
Well, maybe some legitimate leftists believed that. But 100% if I were a Russian operative I know what message I’d be meming.
Sure, that’s also sounds like a good disruption strategy.
The goal is to separate and disrupt us. And they will have fully paid specialists who strategize and are savvy on the latest arguments.
Anything that gets Democrats to tear each other apart is the goal. So we need to be careful about the whispers on the internet, and be more careful about thinking about who those whispers serve.

More like claiming that democrats lost the election because they weren’t far enough left when the polls say it was because of inflation.
