RE: Could Steemit help us prevent cyberhacking, like from Russia?

in #news7 years ago

We don't vote, and didn't like either candidate anyway, but isn't this Russian stuff really just promoted by one party, as propaganda? And even if it's true, elections and kingmaking have been affected (or at least ATTEMPTED) by foreign countries since the beginning of time. Kings and queens used to marry their offspring into foriegn families to form alliances. This is quite common human behavior. If anything, it helps turn potential foes into friendlies so there's actually a bright side to it.

Lastly, the American election was mostly decided via the FBI using timing to push doubt into Hilliary's campaign. She did an awful job of running, as the election was hers to lose and any even remotely boring Democratic candidate would have run away with this election. It's testament to just how unacceptable ALL American politicians are, in both parties, that a career politician lost to a more-comical-than-serious psuedo-celebrity.

There will either be a coming Revolution when those putting faith in Trumped are disappointed, or one of the major parties will be dismantled and replaced by another party which will grow into another ugly beast, like the two parties which exist today. That's our prediction for the next 40 years.
