34. Why do you assume Russia has competence?

What about their war in Ukraine indicates to you that they are anything other than a 1970s backwater regional power?

Maybe the simple solution works: our country does, in fact, have institutional problems with democratic representation.

Hanging chads or bernie bros - doesn't matter. They lost. It sucks that they did, but they did.

Russia might try to interfere with our elections... if they did in 2000, it'd be Bill Clinton's responsibility to prevent it. If it happened in 2016, it was Obama's responsibility to fight back.

If you are assuming a conspiracy you surely can't expect the conspiracy to only be the "bad" guys.
