Was your vote in the 2016 primary or GE influenced by Russian meddling?

32. I'm not eligible to vote (I live in Germany as a German citizen). If I was, then probably: yes.

I liked Bernie's platform. I still like it for the most part.

I prefer his platform over Hillary's platform.

However, I had to admit to myself in early 2017 that I fell for some of the fake news, and that I followed along with some of the totally baseless anti Hillary stuff and – to be honest – enjoyed some of the spectacle against Hillary with hopes to see Bernie win the primary. I feel really dumb and ashamed now, but: It was entertaining at the time.

Of course I was hoping for a Hillary win in the general election. Nobody in his right mind should be supporting Trump. I felt terrible once I realized that I was fooled into some Hillary bashing during the primaries. But I only realized that after the election. I do hope that didn't influence even a single US voter, since I only posted on German sites at the time.

Sorry. I hope I have learned my lesson and will try to be a responsible person when it comes to politics in the future. Fake news, disinformation and Internet propaganda in social networks is incredibly dangerous for the average "I'm interested in politics" voter like myself. I never expected to fall for those cheap tricks, but I did.
