So now, I guess all it takes is some Chicken Little to cry 'Russian interference' and the political world goes ape ****.

Apparently the Russian are now trying to help Bernie Sanders win. Just say the words and the political junkies INSTANTLY believe that Russia is supporting the other guy.

What a crock of ****!

Ignore the noise. Find your candidate and VOTE for them. The Russians can't tell you who to vote for.

They can influence people through disinformation spread online. They have done so in the past. It's hard to tell how far they could really move the needle, but if a race is close, it is conceivable they could tilt the scale in their favor.

So the Russians are trying to influence us on social media.Who isn't trying to influence us on social media?

Ever hear of Radio Free Europe?

Hell, even Pope John Paul II tried to influence politics in the East bloc.

The Russians are diabolical. They're into everything. They're even the ones hyping up all the stories about Russian interference. And those U.S. officials who briefed Sanders are obviously Russian spies, since they've infiltrated the entire government by now.

The Russians rigged the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards as well. They ruined Star Wars, too.

I'm an American (or am I really an American?) meddling in French elections because that is all it takes apparently.

It be a good thing not to let ourselves be influenced by a dictator and the sort of politician with nationalist, homophobic, anti-feminist, anti-environmentalist, militarist ideologies. These are poison to human freedom and prosperity.

Trump is a crass billionaire who watches too much Fox News. He isn't a real danger to anybody. Vladimir Putin on the other hand is a very dangerous man for anybody who values democracy or even basic humanist ideals.
