    Putin does not give a shit about a protest vote in a race that’s already over in a state that nobody’s heard of.

        If you think American capital and military industrial complex isn’t interfering in US elections then you haven’t been paying attention.

        If your representative democracy is so fragile that $50K in Facebook ads in an election worth over 2 billions made a significant difference, you have bigger issues than foreign interference. News flash, you do. Stop blaming everyone but yourselves.

        I have no doubt he is, but I think his aim is to get Trump and MAGAts elected because they are useful. Protest voters in cheese hats are not on his radar.

        I’m not really worried about the 200k that Russia spent on Facebook ads in 2016. I’m much more concerned about the millions spent by Israel and “friends of Israel” on almost every currently elected politician. Are you actually concerned about foreign interference in US elections?
