None of that changes the fact that Russia attempted to sway the election with their hacking and that the Trump admin is full of extremely questionable connections to Russia and the hacking.
Quit trying to distract.

You're right. Hillary was a bad candidate. Bernie Sanders was a bad candidate. Trump was a bad candidate, Cruz was a bad candidate etc etc. All the candidates were bad candidates. Not too surprisingly, a shitty candidate won, from a field of shitty candidates. This is not a republican or democrat problem... this should be a wake up call. But sadly, its not. Politicians used to plan for the next elections by putting out great ideas. But now, politicians are planning for the next elections by competing to be the bigger asshole and having no ideas.
The wider problem in the US is that politics is no longer about the better idea, discussing better approaches to solve problems and competing plans to fix the same issues as it used to be in the past (education, poverty, trade etc). Of course, now after Obama any working together has gone completely out the window and its turning into gang warfare rather than leading.
Politics in the US is now just people throwing temper tantrums day in and day out because they didn't get what they want... and who offer nothing at all other than incessant vitriol and whining. And guess what? The next elections will bring even more terrible candidates and another dipshit will be in charge. Thats the path we are on.
