If you wrote out a list of the most important factors in the 2016 election, I'm not sure that Russian social media memes would be among the top 100. The scale was quite small and there's not much evidence that they were effective.

He follows:

Quote:

For instance, this story makes a big deal about a (post-election) Russian social media disinformation campaign on Bob Mueller based on... 5,000 tweets? That's **nothing**. Platform-wide, there are something like 500,000,000 tweets posted each day. https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/business/technology/russian-dis

He then posts this image at the bottom of the tweet:




He follows:

Quote:

It's far more likely that the Russians were just throwing a bunch of shit at the wall and seeing what stuck and that basing it on Cambridge Analytica data wouldn't have been meaningfully more effective than doing it at random.



Whoops.

It is also possible that Nat Silver was joking because he retweeted:

Can we also step back to contemplate... Cambridge Analytica's Facebook data identified a large enough demographic of likely Republican voters made up of compulsive masturbators that the Russians created not just targeted memes but an actual hotline with live operators.

This is an actual meme from the Russian troll farm, in which Jesus counsels someone addicted to masturbation: “Reach out to me and we will beat it together.”

Jack posting shit like this, creating a thread no less, after all that's been exposed about the role the Russians played is well, trolling.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Liberals worshipped Nate Silver for his ability to predict elections based on polling results. Now, I don't worship anyone, but if there is a source that liberals would trust to examine the effect of "Russian interference" in our elections, it would be him.

I don't believe he re-tweeted that. I believe that was a reply to his tweet.

I'm hardly ever on twitter though, so somebody do correct me if I'm wrong here.

Still zero evidence of Russia collusion... two years later.

I'm going to happily sit back and laugh at you guys going nuts the next two years while your Democratic House does nothing.
