The Democrats (of whom I am one since birth) are using "The Reds did it!" as a tried and true excuse to explain the utter failure of their muddled, ineffective ideology on the national stage.
It's face saving through and through. And it makes a better story than "Trump beat us because we half-assed this election."
- SomeStupidPoint 10y agoTo be fair, I think three things: 1. The Democrats ran a crap campaign based (in part) on racism and sexism. The probably would've lost by a wider margin to a ham sandwich than they did to Trump. 2. Russia probably is behind the DNC hacks and definitely tried to meddle in the election. 3. Russia definitely took hints on what would be useful from Trump and Trump probably actively collaborated with them. Just because I think Russia meddled in the election doesn't mean that either domestic party ran a good campaign, or that Russia was ultimately able to sway the election. The only question I want the intel community to weigh in on is the politically charged one they're avoiding: did Trump actively collaborate with a foreign power during the election? That question is of pressing import (and disqualifies him from being president if he did). The rest of it is just details.
