Re: TRIP TO DUBLIN LATE JUNE

Re: POTUS-DONALD TRUMP-Already making America Great Again!
In summary: while Russia's Twitter activity may have had one or more impacts, it doesn't necessarily follow that any of it changed voter behaviour and thereby affected the outcome of the election. Moreover, there is no evidence of any such impact )defined as changed voter behaviour). That is not to...

Re: POTUS-DONALD TRUMP-Already making America Great Again!
You don't have to have a control group. And the measure would obviously be number of voters whose votes were influenced by the Twitter campaign. The point of measurement is to assess impact. If Russia spent $1m and influenced 15 people then that would have been a waste of money and you could say th...

Re: POTUS-DONALD TRUMP-Already making America Great Again!
And your need for measurable effects isn't what the issue really is. Without a control group it's going to be pretty damn hard to put a number on what occurred, or how much influence it had. What unit of measurement would you like to establish the level of influence? I declare the Russian influence...

Nope. I'm saying nobody knows whether it was effective or if it was effective how effective it was.
