The United States expects Russia, Iran, and China to continue their attempts to influence the November 5 elections by using artificial intelligence to disseminate fake information, according to a report  released on October 2 by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The department considers the three countries the most pressing foreign threats to U.S. critical infrastructure and expects them to remain so.

Seems to me that the biggest threat is corporate money and influence.

Corporations and churches

The biggest source of election interference in the US … is the general intelligence of the whole of the US

technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 05 Oct 2024 16:11 collapse

Don’t blame the intelligence, blame the indoctrination system.

Most people in USA don’t have access to decent education, unbiased media, etc.

tacosanonymous@lemm.ee on 04 Oct 2024 17:55 next collapse

Seems spookier to me. Pretty sure the interference is coming from inside the house.

Israel is conspicuously absent from that list, and they absolutely do try to influence our elections (see: AIPAC)

Does Israel even need to interfere? I’m not American but it seems like both parties are already ride or die for Israel.

wurzelgummidge@lemmy.world on 05 Oct 2024 01:21 next collapse

It’s all part of the money laundering scam. The US gives Israel your tax dollars they return it via lobbying, campaign contributions and buying weapons. So instead of your taxes going towards fixing infrastructure and building a better society for all Americans, it merely inflates the coffers of sleazy politicians and enriches the the military industrial complex and its investors.

Both parties are hardcore zionist because of prior, endless interference.

Ok… Now who are the biggest victims of election interference by USA?
