If this whole ridiculous, totally artificial 'crisis' did anything, it laid bare how insincere, untrustworthy and sleazy  'American democracy' really is.
An antiquated electoral system that hasn't changed for 200 years with its cast-in-stone bi-partisan political structure, where policy differences between the 2 parties are miniscule and immoral amounts of money are being spent in the 'electoral process' yields only perennial bickering with no real achievement, except maybe the (rapid) growth of the federal deficit and the sway of the military-industrial complex.
And when the preordained results do not materialise and the unexpected happens, the entire political class (both parties) is up in arms in unison: that there must have been an external 'intervention' an 'attack against our democracy' that needs to be pushed back against and the perpetrators must be punished.
Never mind, that there is no solid proof. None.
It is an insult to the intellect of the American voter.
