You can't seriously blame one source for an entire presidential loss. 2. The only thing that really is concerning is hacking voting machines, which has been proven to be negligible. 1. You are missing the fucking point. This isn't about misinformation or else youre right, we could just go arrest Hannity, Tucker and Alex Jones right now. This is about foreign agents purposefully interfering - not just through social media disinformation but with what pretty damningly appears to be coordination with a presidential campaign. A foreign agent crafting our electoral narratives is not acceptable. Since you're so fond of Citizens United lets put it another way - we ban foreign money aka foreign speech in our finance laws. It is a principle. A rule that all abide by. To break such a rule is to break such a rule and it should be alarming when one side just casually abd repeatedly sought to break it. There should be consequences for that behavior. It doesnt need to have been THE determinative factor in order to be fucking problematic. 2. Except also maybe not really because holy shit people are dumb. I mean I get it - you wanted the US to interfere in Syria, in Turkey, in other places and to you this is tit for tat. To that I say 1) have some fucking pride. And 2) a lot of people disagreed with you on those and its internally consistent for them to keep disagreeing now. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/chXIw06 <cite>Eddv posted [p:905405182] in Politics C...
