You claim to lay out both sides and then characterise the alt-right case as 'complicated' and therefore full of nuance, but the left-leaning side as 'unclear' and therefore nonsensical?
You're just like Mitch McConnell calling for bipartisanship and fairplay after years of crap. Completely disingenuous.

Wow...
if you can read in any flattering from me on either red or blue, I don't know what to say.
And I'm poking fun of the whole "calling for bipartisanship" for ignoring that there might be more than two parts to any one issue, and then you compare me to (red team) Mitch McConnell!
Handing over the microphone to you, my comedy act can't match this. How's that knee?

haha awesome. Good to hear the other side :)
I'm wondering why the downvotes though? Do we not understand that we inhabit bubbles?

Yeah but people get upset when you point the fact out to them, sometimes.
Bubbles are what OTHER people inhabit, see. We're all special and unique free-thinkers immune to unconscious biases. Or something.

yeah, I'm seeing opportunity here... who wants a Bubble Buddy?... someone from a diagrammatically opposite bubble from you, so you can see how the other half think

do tell... what happens? Arguments? Fisticuffs?
Currently, the alt-right does not see him as a Russian agent, because Russia doesn't meddle in elections and stuff. That's just crazy talk propaganda. They are dangerous with some nuclear stuff so we have to build more nukes. But they are good in Syria and we need to either step away completely from that shit-show or give them a hand and fight on their side. It's complicated.
The left-leaning have Assange see him as a tool of right-wing US politics which are 100% bought by Russian oligarchs, or maybe the US politics bought the Russian oligarchs. It's unclear.
Questions?
Whatever you do, do not cross the streams. Gotta keep both (can never have more than 2 sides in a debate! that's we call it bi-partisan! have you heard of tri-partisan?! Is that some kind of cheese?! lol) sides hot and angry. Don't mind the man behind the curtain.
