Some of the bots they posted above have been posting in the Venezuela sub and a few speak Spanish. Maybe you should actually take this seriously. I didn’t click on them all but they definitely have their tentacles in South American Bolivia/Venezuela/SA politics too if those profiles are any clue.
I don’t think the CIA is astroturfing Reddit as much as you’d hoped, if they are they aren’t very good at it. The FSB on the other hand seem quite good at it. Past indiscretions of our government hardly excuse active measures campaigns by Russia targeting democracies, yours could be next..

Yeah I'm an American, and it's weird that the Russians giving voters more information is considered manipulation. Not that I'm ok with any foreign interference, just stating facts doesn't seem to be interference

Cool, now mind telling me what I should do about that vs these other things that are happening in the present?
What kind of weird contest has this become? An American citizen can't point out how unfortunate it is that their election got meddled with, because decades ago some other dickheads from America did the same. Then again, everybody knows all Americans are aware of what their government does in secret so I guess we should just keep quiet.

Communists aren't human and should be couped and brought to summary justice.
Also in accord with the Monroe doctrine of the fatherland first advocated by well Monroe the America's are closed to influence of powers beyond the hemisphere. Anyone who aligns with an illegal power have made themselves an illegal and Rouge state and have surrendered authority
Your degenerate Latin state doesn't have the authority to dissent from the dictates of Washington.

I was about to say that if your country enabled literal fascist coups to overthrow democratically-elected govts. in order to set up client states amenable to your big business interests, it’s a little late to get upset about some bots on the internet practicing their god-given freedom of speech, god bless ‘merica

youre wasting your breath, american liberals who are apoplectic about russian involvement in their election will never give a shit about US involvement in elections in the global south. the imperialist mindset runs deep
