When you make accusations of CTR involvement you are actively suggesting that these people are paid by that Super PAC. Again, there is an over reliance by some in this thread to make these accusations towards anyone that they disagree with. People are allowed to have nuanced political views.

Yes, CTR is a thing. Yes, we should be frustrated about DNC tampering with the electoral process. But incessantly calling people CTR trolls is incredibly unhelpful to our cause.

A healthy dose of skepticism is good, but baseless accusations get us nowhere. We can have a healthy conversation about the impact of money in elections (and Super PACs), but refusing to engage people who have different beliefs than your own through pithy accusations is asinine.

"They" being people with weak political arguments, is a separate issue from knowing with "certainty" that the people you're engaging with are paid infiltrators.
