We literally elected people that are telling us our elections are rigged. Even if Russia and China orchestrated it, we're stupid enough to eat it up.

"Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens.

This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders." - George Carlin

That sucks, but the US lacks moral authority to point fingers as the US has such long history of manipulating elections all over the world, overthrowing democratic leaders. The US even actively spied on European citizens through PRISM at a scale never done by either China or Russia. When Snowden exposed the US, it just shrugged “everybody spies on everybody”.

Okay, if so, then why complain about Chinese spying? They are just doing what the US is even more guilty of.

As a westerner I would love to see the US stop embarrassing us in front of autocrats.

And the USA is doing the same to other countries. It is a given that this happens, and will continue to happen. You measure how strong a democracy is by how well they can resist such campaigns. If some random Russian bots can trigger a coup in the strongest and richest country in the world then, well, that's on us.

Maybe your solution is to set up a firewall and block any articles written out there that gets the wrong people elected.

Sure they are, which countries aren't interested in the most powerful country that constantly exports their problems.(our debt is YOUR problem)

But the coverage is probably outsized to their actual impact compared to the hundreds of billions spent by the local monopolies trying to influence the elections themselves.

Trump ignoring his personal issues for a moment, has shown with his rise and fall, just how much of the media are just working together - I have never seen all of them including interestingly enough CNBC and Fox constantly dismissing the same candidate in unison for months towards to 2016 election.

Add the tech monopolies into the mix for 2020 and it was another eye opener.
