I mean, I don't even care if they do because the US is the king of messing with other countries politics, I was just wondering what peoples actual serious opinions here are on the whole Russiagate thing outside of (rightfully) mocking liberals obsession with it.

Russia is interfering with US politics but I don't think Russia is actually influencing US politics.

The material conditions of neoliberalism lead to the rise of reactionaries and fascism.

The US will create forces like Trump, the alt-right, Steven Miller, Fuentes, with or without Russian money. The seeds were already planted long before Russian involvement.

I'm preaching to the choir here but liberals find it much more comfortable to blame an external entity than reflect on what's rotten on the inside.
