Correct on all counts. However, if our elections are hackable, and people who mean us harm can arrange, against the will of the voters, the election of a president and a congress that is AGAINST Americans being able to send their kids to college, AGAINST their being able to pay the rent, AGAINST their being able to afford health care, and AGAINST their being able to put food on their families' table, then yeah, we had goddam well BETTER be staying up nights worrying about it.
But if Bernie Sanders dosn't get the connection, he could do worse to recognize it. If the oligarch billionayahs' names are Putin and friends, and not just Koch, Mercer and Adelson, then yeah, something DOES need to be done about it, and we DO need to worry about it.
