Where are the waves of "far left" bots? Twitter? Facebook?
To be clear there are far-left bots, they are just funded by far-right organizations and used to stir shit
Far-right false flag bots and far-left bots aren't the same thing. They aren't promoting leftist positions; they're promoting a caricatured strawman of leftist positions.
The best way to get a viable reform off the ground is by promoting an alternative voting system. As it stands, the current system in the US creates two-party system.
I hope it will matter; I agree, this is something that should have happened decades ago really.
I believe it is still worth pursuing on the off chance that the right somehow fumbles their plans again like they did in 2020.
I'm still sceptical. I mean, I'm not on twitter/FB/Instagram, but I find it hard to believe there's much in the way of "leftism" (organic or not) represented there. I also do think there are probably "centrist" bots as well. There's definitely paid "centrist" influencers.
It’s not America funding the left leaning ones; China and Russia are a couple countries funding the far-leftist bots I believe. Although probably more the former than the latter.
They’re mostly on TikTok and Reddit, although I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some on Lemmy.

Bots on .ml? Hardly seems worth anyone's effort to spam Lemmy.
I know but all those .ml users repeat the same Russian/Chinese propaganda.
I always found it funny that you have such a shock-value username, and yet such bland opinions.
I exist for your amusement.
Reddit and TikTok mostly; the Gen Z sub had quite a number popping up a few months before the 2024 election for instance.
How big was the gen z sub?
Pretty popular at the time, as posts were getting tens of thousands of upvotes. So the view-to-vote ratio must have been fairly high. The thing was, the bots everywhere. They were in every thread and were in subs that were not specifically centered on politics. By no means was every bot was a left-wing bot, mind you, as most were right-wing bots. However, there was a notable style of commenting from the bots.
The Gen Z sub tanked in its popularity over the month after the election as well, especially given so many right-wing bots absolutely polluted the sub at that time. Shit was so toxic to be around.
I was off of reddit well before then. I never spent any time in the gen z sub, but was there when CTH got banned.
