Lmao, Russia election hoax for 4 years. Look through prominent Dem twitter accounts for stealing and hacked election. Example:

Trump is even worse than this but both parties are garbage, left way more hypocritical though

I'm glad to see this misinformation downvoted, but in these troubling times it's important to restate the facts.

There is ample and well documented evidence that there was strong Russian influence on our election in ad buys, concentrated highly to spread falsehoods and change the entire election's results. Anybody saying otherwise is trying to snow us. Calling this a "hoax" is telling us that there are five lights when there are four.

It's all right here in the executive summary of the report:

There are two contentions:

1. Russia bought ads and manipulated social media to influence the 2016 election.

2. Trump was an active participant and collaborator with Russia in doing 1.

I don't think anyone disputes 1. 2 was the basis of the failed impeachment and investigation and for which no convincing evidence can be produced. That is what people are generally referring to when they mention the "Russia hoax".

"bad on both sides" is something you should remove from your line of thinking. There should be enough information out there for you to find differences that matter.

Incredibly naive way of thinking. Hypocrisy should always be pointed out. Ignoring it means you are clearly partisan
