It's not THAT hard to read that Russia helped INFLUENCE the election through cyber warfare. In no way is anyone saying that Clinton lost due to Russian hacking. 

Russians possibly hacked Georgia. But for a party that says they hate destroying eveidence, all the proof was erased by the now Gov of Georgia.

That might be the intended point of the thread, but every other post in here was about Stein being a supposed Russian agent because she went to a dinner in Russia and insulting mythical "Bernie Bros" and implying that they were duped by her into going along with her nefarious spy mission.

I can't deny that Russia attempted to influence the election through social media (because we know that they did) but I CAN dispute its supposed effectiveness because the evidence we have indicates that it was largely incompetent (grainy memes that barely anyone interacted with and Twitter accounts with 10 followers tweeting into a void):

That's all I was trying to say with my initial post.

I have to wonder if this controversy would be on the fore front if they Russians were in favor of a Liberal candidate ?  

Other foreign influence clearly is.
