I agree that there is much to suggest Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

5. It took a LOT to pull Hillary down

Which is why I don't buy into the "weak candidate" bullshit. Flawed? Yes. But so is any presidential candidate offered up ever and the debate should have been about clear merits vs perceived flaws. Long term, concentrated effort to sabotage Hillary on the right--sure, but also the emergence of players on the left happily repeating some of the worst of the rights bullshit, even while making up thier own.

And I never, ever underestimate the effects of unadulterated sexism and racism that played a huge part on what people were willing to believe--or not believe. So blame gerrymandering? You bet.

Russia's interference may have kept people home, tipped people to 3rd party votes. The concern I have is the way Rebublican simply accept this--promote their once-dying agenda at all costs I guess.

Off topic, but There are a few ways for societies to go forward at this point in history, its my belief that the Republican version, as tied to religion as it is can only lead to dystopia, whereas all encompassing liberal values--which embraces compassion, love, tolerance and acceptance while recognizing the clear need for separation of church and state, leads to a logical and healthy society.

Economics? Simply put, In a world with finite resources we are simply going to eventually learn to share or pay the consequences.

Not the simple answer to your poll, I know.
