I checked a bunch of them. No, they are not "election propaganda bots". They are real humans, all on one side of the political spectrum. If you are on the left and would like to strengthen your filter bubble, this list is for you. It's like blinders (horse eyewear to prevent fright) for Twitter users. With this list, you can enjoy the morning of the 2020 election with complete confidence that there is nobody who would possibly support Trump. Also, you yourself won't be tempted by crimethink, because you'll never even know it exists.

Yeah, having read your comment I checked the list too. It looks like another one of those lists where "Russian bots" is just code for Trump supporter. I viewed a random sample of 10 different users and they were tweeting about regular life stuff as well as supporting the president. One of them was just a crypto trader, they didn't even have any Trump stuff on their timeline.
