I agree this is the prevailing view of Americans, and reject it. If we can't get our shit together other countries are welcome to interfere to make us do it.

Outrage about interference should not be about sovereignty being sacrosanct. It should be about whether the interference is harmful to real people's rights and wellbeing.

If Russian bots were fueling rage against the healthcare industry to get us single payer, I'd be pretty damn okay with it.

This isn't reasonable. The problem us the assumption that other people get to make decisions about what's best for you. As soon as you open that door, you're guaranteed that at some pooint you won't agree with their judgment.

Maybe; I certainly thing your position here is legitimate. There are always other people making decisions for us though, like our elected representatives, and if they're not actually representing our interests...
-
I guess what I mean is that there's no opting out of having others make decisions that affect you, and maybe whether their decisions are good or bad is more important than the legitimacy-theater through which they do it.
-
Don't lose the context sir. Yes our officials make decisions for us. But the theory is that they were chosen by a system where we got to vet them and vote for then. We're talking about other sovereign nation's inserting themselves. Context matters.
