So, your point of view is that concern about Russian hacking of the US electoral process is stupid, because people were also upset Trump suggested he might reject the outcome of a legitimate democratic processes?
- sakopov 10y agoI think the OP was just commenting about the irony of the situation and that at the end of the day everyone doubts the democratic election process.
- zo1 10y agoI think he's trying to point out the hypocrisy of the overall media-opinion on the matter before the results, vs now. I'd argue that people are a whole lot more "interested" or "curious" in the possibility of vote-manipulation or hacking now that the really unexpected candidate won. Hillary was a sort of "okay" result, yet Trump is, well I'm sure you've been reading HN and the rest of the internet.
- TheGirondin 10y agoNo, my point is that people should think their partisan rhetoric through, unless they want to put themselves into a position of being a complete hypocrite. But since you asked, yes, I do think these "concerns" about Russian hacking of the US electoral process are stupid and a thinly veiled attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the next President (which according to the rhetoric of many on left over the fall, is undermining to democracy itself).
