Do you guys really think that we haven't ever "meddled" in other countries elections? Every country/large organization has internet bots that they send out to spread their agenda. Please stop being naïve!!

I think that both parties do a lot of unethical things to win. I think that it should be illegal for businesses to contribute to political parties. It is a huge conflict of interest. I hate the whole system and hope that this will lead to change.

Another unfunny meme from the left. I’ll bet you saved that one all day for some glorious “boom”.

What types of meddling in our elections are justifiable?

Is it ok when the crooked, corrupt pharmaceutical industry seeks to change voter opinions on certain types of legislation that threatens the monopoly?

Is it ok when teacher unions use tv ads to kill a bill that would have enacted performance-based pay for teachers?

Any sort of endeavor to influence voters and win their support is technically "meddling" in an election.

Propaganda is SOP for all major world powers.

There is no proof that the Russians changed a single vote in 2016.

These are both true statements.

I just read that Bill Clinton sent James Carville and Stanley Greenberg to Israel to advise a candidate against Netanyahu.

Hussein spent (what?) $200,000 in taxpayer funds to support (guess who?) Netanyahu's opponent.

JFK had the South Vietnamese president assassinated.

Anyone see a pattern here?

We have done worse than that. We have literally installed leaders into other nations against the will of the people.

It confirmed that the DNC and the MSM was colluding to rig the election. It might have made a difference even though most people figured that to be the case already
