If Americans can agree on anything, let it be that foreign parties must stay out of our elections. Of course Russia said untrue things. They ran active disinformation campaigns in addition to the email leaks (read the "Key Judgements" section...). Didn't help that voters were ready to eat it up during a domestic battle between warring media corporations. The chaos and confusion stirred by this election will take years if not decades to settle.

> If Americans can agree on anything, let it be that foreign parties must stay out of our elections. I'm not agreeing to that in any way, and the US doesn't feel the same way about any other election in the world. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/10/13/the-long-history-of-the-u-s-interfering-with-elections-elsewhere/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/10/13...

  Your comment isn't a contradiction to what the parent comment said. They said stay out of United States elections, not the elections of other nations.

  You can be against both.

If by staying out of our elections you mean stop participating in political speech then I don't see how that is going to happen or why it should happen.
