        Yes that one. I still find it wild that in 1/3 of US elections in the 21st century, the candidate with less votes won. So much for the “freedom and democracy” that the US likes to preach about…

      The Russia stuff didn’t really take off until after the Democrats blew it. Its purpose was not to get out the vote, but to blame everything on forces beyond their control and prevent the Democratic Party from being justifiably decapitated by its constituents. In the end, it worked. They lost to Donald fucking Trump and all of them got to keep their jobs.
