    I feel like there is more going on than a coordinated TikTok campaign, but they don’t want to say anything less they tip off the Russian actors that they know what they are doing.

    Still, imagine if SCOTUS banned the Democratic nominee from running for president because some foreigners were posting TikTok about then.

      The tiktok campaign was funded by the ruling political party to divide the vote of opposition parties since Calin was seen as a fringe guy with no chance to win. There was no russian intervention.

      Ikr? Even convicted felons can run for president in the US, Russian plants are also welcome.
