    Gallup recently did a poll of what Americans say is the most important problem facing the country. One finding: the percentage of Americans saying “Situation with Russia” is the most important problem is literally too small to represent with a number. https://news.gallup.com/poll/1675/most-important-problem.aspx …pic.twitter.com/aftMkCqQi1

        Obviously these numbers would be much higher if only our complicit media would just pay a little more attention to the #Russia story.

        It is so strange, I keep seeing "who to follow" of people I've followed for years. Does Twitter unfollow people for you?

        I don’t think the Russia story is the most important. 1) money in politics-it’s corrupting everything 2) voting integrity-we have none. Maybe this latest Russian story might give it more traction 3) disastrous health insurance situation 4) disastrous health care situation

        The problem with the Russian narrative and voting integrity is that it’s not leading to a real discussion of the problems we have with our electoral system, it’s just scapegoating a foreign nation and shifting the blame

        For 20 years, voting integrity activists have been howling that we have hackable, unauditable voting machines which are *privately owned by political operatives* - an obvious threat to our elections that the leadership has blatantly ignored.

        Exactly. The wake-up call should’ve been 2000. But that couldn’t be blamed on Russia, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

        I’d add that DNC has maintained (in court) they are a private org. & thus free to manipulate primaries. So “hacking” them isn’t a “gov. attack.” Now if they’re a public entity, THEN “attack US” or whatever could be argued, but then DNC couldn’t cheat primaries. So which is it?🤔

        fascinating to me how, what, 90-95% of the public have no idea how banksters/wall street/ the Fed - whatever you wanna call it is the biggest thing completely screwing everyone - who's consequences are so much larger than they can imagine.

        "poor leadership" could mean "corruption" to many people, which is a form of what you take issue with here.

        Meant for you. Part of the problem with Wall Street and Bankers is how much they corrupt the political system leading to poor leadership. It's possible that people really do understand the influence of these interests, but that it's not well reflected well in the poll.

        Since "dissatisfaction with government / poor leadership" can mean very different things to different people, it's a poor option to include in a poll imo, and says a lot about nothing when it's the most popular response.
