    Apparently we now believe that Putin--and rest of sentient world--missed 2000 election, never heard of swing states.https://twitter.com/MichaelJMorell/status/910469181715468291 …

        The biggest influence in this election was Breitbart, the inheritor of Fox. You think there wasn't right wing noise machine in 2000?

        Really? Because I thought Hillary's seeding of Obama the terrorist sympathizer in 2008 was pretty dangerous.

        I have always opposed the electoral college, but let's be serious. Gore won the EC by higher % than PV -- FL was just straight up stolen.

        just the narrative alone, outside of context, is just flatly ridiculous. like trying to listen to Trump moan about fake voters. Srsly?

        Meh. I still think AIPAC is a much more clear and obvious case of foreign meddling. And one you don't have to pretend happened.
