There is no way to "prove" that Russia's Wikileaks shenanigans got Trump elected. We can be outraged that a foreign government interfered in our domestic affairs without jumping to the conclusion that it actually altered the election.I know that there are other threads tangential on this topic and that many of us on the left have also criticized the CIA and FBI (especially) for their political subjectivity.
Nonetheless, how should we feel if indeed it is strongly proven that Russia helped Trump win the election by sabotaging the DNC???
Should we let bygones be bygones? Or should we be outraged that a foreign government interfered in our domestic affairs?
This isn't about "letting bygones be bygones." But imo, it is going too far to bring the outcome of the election into it.
