Yes. Better politics
> years of evidence of Russian interference and manipulation?
Hardly anyone cares! He still won, by telling people what they want to hear. His opposition are hopeless elite fools thrown up by dreadful incentives in USA politics (in both the Repulican and Democrat branches of the political elites)
Unless the USA gets another Roosevelt I do not expect their "democracy " to survive
Makes me sad

@worik@mastodon.social @Noupside@saturation.social I can't agree that better politics is the same as telling everyone what they want to hear. Sooner or later compromises have to be made and this is where politics starts. Trump's record with this is appalling. That's why he's falling back from negotiation to coercion.
