The Russia/"hacked election" meme is amazing. With very little actual
evidence, careful use of linguistic framing, and a lot of angry rhetoric on all sides, the public was successfully scared into wasting their time and energy fighting among themselves over hearsay and rumor, instead of addressing
any of the numerous actual, known problems that are already known and far more likely to impact the average citizen.
If there's actual evidence of an actual crime, then present it to the public and the court. In the meantime, healthcare is still a huge mess, regulatory capture is keeps getting worse (an isn't limited to the FCC), systemic corruption continues to erode the public sector as politicians - regardless of party affiliation - spend increasing amounts of time "dialing for dollars"[1], wealth inequality continues to get worse, and the military-industrial complex is still a money pump that starts the occasional war.
There is a lot of important work to do, but this denial of service attack against everyone's political time and energy has been a very successful distraction.
