  • yes, influence, and yet, in a democratic society, influence itself isn’t illegal. hacking of votes, physically preventing the vote, those things are illegal, but influence, in western culture once one reaches the age of aduluthood, then one is responsible for their own actions, and a functioning adult acting after having been influenced is not one of those things which the law usually recognizes as being actionable. little old ladies and scammers, sure, but not politics, so again, this is all very strange. welcome, i guess, but strange nonetheless.



  • I mean, this is better for Western Democracy, for sure, but it all seems like very thin evidence, sure Russia completely bumrushed the Romanian social media space and manipulated opinion, but it doesn’t seem like there was much if any direct hacking of the vote, so, they’re gonna get a do-over because they think people will change their votes? I’m glad to see it, and hopefully Moscow’s beard gets relegated to the dustbin where they belong, but it all feels like the opposite of Democratic to me, and even after saying that I wish we could have an annulment and revote on the last US Presidential election, because we’re headed for complete and utter destruction once Trump gets the keys again.
