After Iowa caucus clisterfock, is anyone else not that surprised to see accusations here?

I have to admit, I don't know what the parallels might be; between the top down, authoritarian intrusiveness and manipulation alleged in Iowa and what's been happening locally -- with planning and preparation for the DNC convention.
But I am glad someone stepped up and issues in Milwaukee have been addressed.

This is in addition to at least four federal “probes” of elected officials since the mayoral election last year when Illinois ousted a terrible Republican governor and became all blue — with a Democratic mayor and governor.

It might be unintended because most paranoia comes from within.

Once we show that to be our newest weakness, they'll be exploiting it. Watch how a crow goes after a dead deer on the shoulder of a road. It starts with the wound so it won't have to physically tear the carcass, going after the tender meat inside. Russia/Koch Industries/whomever will find that wound and start pecking away at us like that crow.

There can be computer glitches without the Kremlin's help. It happens. Be aware. Be smart. But don't overthink.

As for Milwaukee, Putin didn't order a toxic work environment.
