Who said anything about allowing any country to do it? We can look at the hacking and theft of political party emails as an example. Should that be ignored?
No, it shouldn't be ignored but not over-inflated either.
It should be considered on the same level as the Sony hack or intellectual property theft that China does on a broad scale, as both the DNC, Sony, and tech companies are private institutions.
I can only imagine the s***-storm coming their way from CNN if that happens. :lol:
My opposition to Gabbard boils down to one issue. I don’t have a problem with her being anti-war, what I do have a problem is her position on Assad.
Well, I am the last thing from a fan of Assad. I do not know everything she has said about Syria/Assad and may disagree with some of her comments, but I do not think we should be going for Iraq War 2.0, here. We all knew Saddam gassed his own people but liberals (rightfully) opposed the war. We also shouldn't be arming terrorists in the hopes they'd bring down Assad. The one way I'd be for invading Syria (minus a direct attack on us) is through a UN effort. No more of this unilateral crap that only creates more problems and destroys our reputation.
Whether it is 'over-inflated' is subjective and if there is an argument for that it can be directed towards the corporate media. Mueller and his Team have been nothing but professional so far and haven't leaked a thing. Trump's Team, on the other hand, have taken every opportunity to get on CNN and Fox News and scream witch hunt and leak information they get their hands on if it suits their interests.
I disagree about the tampering of our democracy being considered on the same level as a hack at a corporation.
The moment she met with Assad is what I find inexcusable.
What do you mean, "no leaks in Mueller investigation"?
Leaks in the Mueller investigation mean the endgame must be near - Los Angeles Times
There's been no evidence of tempering with our democracy.
So far, there has not been a shred of evidence that one single vote was altered.
You mean tampering? Yes, there is evidence and 17 agencies have identified Russian agents as responsible for the DNC hackings. Mueller has even indicted several of them by name.
No one said anything about 'altered' votes.
First of all, the 17 agencies talking point is a lie.
Secondly, if no votes where changed then there was no tampering with votes, which would be a compromise of the democratic process.
Everything else is whining and it's only whining about certain countries doing stuff. Is there going to be investigations into the actions of other countries that were much more overt? How about the UK when they went on and on about Trump in parliament and put it up for vote to bar him from entering their country? Do we get to count that as well?

I'm sorry, agencies or parts of agencies. Better? I'll take the word of the NSA and FBI over some random poster or an orange narcissist who happens to be Putin's puppet any day...
I never said anything about directly tampering with votes (once again, you put words in my mouth and I don't appreciate it.) Hacking political party emails to benefit one side IS tampering with the democratic process (which is what I DID say).
Parliament voting to bar Trump is a completely legal action. Russia hacking emails is not. I'll give you this, you are good at attempting apple/orange comparisons.
It seems the corporate media is not a big fan of hers, which is a good sign. While Gabbard has made some missteps in her campaign early on, I really like a lot of what she has said (and to automatically disqualify her for misguided views on homosexuality decades ago is ridiculous.)
