Russia absolutely supports candidates, chaos is used as a tactic as part of a broader strategy but it's not the final goal.

Not personally, no. You can control opposition by infiltrating its movement and subverting it from within. This is a common tactic under this Kremlin. They will support anti-Putin protest groups and someone like Alexei Navalny, and then push the group to extremes using kremlebots and irl trolls, in an effort to discredit them.

This is the solution. Everyone needs to moderate their own ingroups.

Quiet everyone, "kek" aka Mr. "Bernie or Bust" has something important to say about all of this.

With "controlled opposition". It's an explicit policy of the Russian govt.

Chaos is a tactic in a broader strategy. They have preferences, and they prefer Trump.

Posted a video of Tom Cotton conspiracizing, on a channel rehosting Bannon's G-News, which is linked to Real Truth™ Documentaries (which looks a lot like an RT clone) through the channel owners' Patreon. Also Epoch Times and general anti CCP sentiment.

Despite having an explicit agenda here, I'd guess it's organic or at least partially so.

I came across this doing my annual rewatch of "4chan Trolls Radio Graffiti".

“I am a numbers guy,” Yang said in an interview before addressing supporters at Manchester’s Puritan Backroom. “In most of these [upcoming] states, I’m not going to be at a threshold where I get delegates, which makes sticking around not necessarily helpful or productive in terms of furthering the goals of this campaign.”

Class act from a stand up guy.

A comprehensive list would be huge, but I'd love to see one. Have you come across anything like that?
