I agree that there is much to suggest Russian interference in the 2016 elections. [View all]

I have been following the news, and DU, and there are certainly a lot of unexplained circumstances surrounding the election. Also in my opinion far too many unexplained circumstances many to be coincidental. I am no fan of Vladimir Putin, and no fan of Empires either Western or Eastern.

I hope that the pressure is mounting because of all of these allegations, and while I feel it is likely that there was Russian interference, which was the greater factor in Clinton's loss? I ask because Russian interference, in the event that it is proven, is only one factor. I do not feel that Democrats should simply concentrate on possible foreign intervention, but should also make the case that the US voting system has been deliberately rigged via gerrymandering and other GOP tactics.

What do you think? Was it:
