(2,065 posts)Getting the bugs out of the system and especially beefing up election security should be a high priority right now. And the illegitimate president we have now will not lead, since he is the main beneficiary of Russian interference. The Russian infection would just aggravate and exacerbate all the usual infighting and mud slinging, anyway, and hopelessly skew the results. Of all the possible reforms we could make the single most important one, which alone, in and of itself, would make Russian interference well nigh impossible, would be getting rid of the electoral college. But Republicans would fight that tooth and nail, because it's the only way they can win elections anymore, even by domestic trickery and voter suppression.
By the way, guys - my sister, who introduced me to DU, has just introduced me to a very valuable website, which covers the whole Trump / Russia thing from the Russian angle, and from the perspective of the Russian media. Here's the link:
