Russian and Chinese bots are pushing these talking points on here because they want to create instability.

I agree with you. Every time I see someone mention progressive or liberal on here it's always referring to them in a right-leaning context. Seems like an effort to destabilize the meaning of a word to cause confusion.
LMAO yes, these college kids are rioting and burning buildings at PEACEFUL protests. So peaceful that even police say they were peaceful. You're so full of shit you might as well flush yourself, you piece of shit.
