why would the election results be less valid just because russia hacked the dnc/leaked damaging info on clinton?
i genuinely don't get why that is a problem for the spirit of democracy. the american voters had more info thanks to mr putin. we should be thanking him for his generosity.
essentially nbc did the same thing by digging through their archives to find that grab her by the pussy tape on trump, strategically releasing it just in time to try to bury the wikileaks hillary story.
i understand the impulse to want to punish russia for having the balls to hack our election... but let us understand that 1) we do this sort of thing all the time and so do other countries and 2) we should keep our priorities in order... what is more important... spiting putin or the potential for averting the next cold war and possibly gaining a powerful new ally with which we can tackle the situation in the mid east?
for trump's enemies both on the left and the right, the choice is simple. they have no interest in working with russia and have even less interest in the prospect of trump doing so successfully, as that would only make them look bad. as such, sabotaging any such alliance is priority number 1 for the anti trump party
