I'd like to give a round of applause to all the Jill Stein voters and JPR-atf*ckers out there

328. no, you are focusing on the minor influence of Russia compared to the herculearn influence of

American corporations. Is Russian meddling in our elections unacceptable? Hell yes, but it was only effective at all by virtue of our own media sucking ass...by virtue of a public already being primed not to like Clinton enough that some were willing to believe whatever they saw that painted her in a negative light. That has been decades of doing, not just to Clinton(though particularly to her and pushing everybody left of her off of the grid and pretending that she represented the far left), but to all democrats and progressives and progressive idealism.

Russia's whole angle in piggy-backing on anything pro-Sanders was going to have to do with damaging clinton going into the GE. Putin certainly wanted to undermine our election process. I don't know that he could have imagined that his buffoon would win in the end(unless any hacking occurred), but again, his small footprint(barring hacking) is just slight depression of a gnat in the huge crater that is our own making.
