> Are they in-directly supporting Trump ?

So it's your opinion that because Trump is extremely bad, Clinton is immune to criticism? It doesn't matter if she also has problems?

Criticizing Clinton does not necessarily mean support for Trump. They are both terrible candidates, just in different ways. While Russia does seem to be pushing for Trump, criticism of Clinton's ties to Wall Street are another matter.

(That also does not imply some sort of false equivalency. When it's time to vote, a strategic vote for the lesser evil may be necessary, but that doesn't mean Clinton shouldn't be criticized for her own problems.)

I think he's saying that when you are locked down to a choice between a shit sandwich and a total shit storm with like 1 month to go throw away your grievances till 2020 and suck it up.

Doesn't mean I agree with this, tho I mostly do, at some point you need to realize that there is a time and place for criticism and this isn't it.

Then when IS it time to criticize her? Voting for her because she is the lesser evil doesn't mean she gets as free pass on criticism. That kind of dogmatic devotion is always a terrible idea and against the very idea of democracy. If Clinton doesn't want criticism, maybe she should expand her platform a bit and earn her votes.

Probably not a month before the election, there isn't dogmatic devotion, I'm not an American (I would be terribly concerned if I was). But not now, it's too late to expand her platform to earn her votes, especially considering that if we face it everything that any politician will promise a month before the election is bollox, even Bernie would resort at the final mile to promising the world to win as anything else is irresponsible especially in this election.

If the majority of tweets on an entity's Twitter feed is dedicated to attacking Clinton for months on end whilst refraining from attacking the other candidate with a non-zero probability of becoming the next President, it's probably reasonable to assume they're indirectly supporting that other candidate, even if it's only because they consider the other candidate a lesser evil. It's not exactly as if many other sources for commentary and information on the US election that aren't explicitly supporting Trump have struggled to find archives of unfortunate things he's said or others have said about him either.
