How do you define Russiagate?

Are you saying Russia didn’t/does not meddle in elections? Or that Trump and his team didn’t have ties to it? Or that Russian influence didn’t actually tip the scales? Or something else?

Yeah they at least tried to
Probably but those ties seem very loose. From what I can tell there wasn’t much organization at all in the trump campaign , much less effective coordination with Russia. It wasn’t Kissinger coordinating with south Vietnam to keep the war going or Reagan talking to Iran to not free the hostages.
Maybe but that’s only because the scales were so even. It may be a reason she lost, we can’t know because we don’t know how many people it actually flipped but my guess is very small compared to the other reasons clinton lost. I don’t think it invalidates the election though as fundamentally it was still Americans freely choosing Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton through the broken electoral college. This happens quite often, like the examples above, even in this election it looks like netanyahu was holding off on a ceasefire in Lebanon to keep Biden from getting a win, that doesn’t invalidates the election though.

Also I think democrats used it as a cope and scape goat for there electoral problems instead of addressing the actual major reasons people voted for trump. They failed to learn there lesson in 2016 and now here we are.

Loose? Are you uninformed or purposefully spreading disinformation?

Finally, the Committee’s bipartisan Report shows that almost immediately following Election Day in 2016, the Trump transition responded to Russia’s election interference not by supporting punitive action, but rather by holding a series of secretive meetings and communications with Russian representatives that served to undercut the outgoing administration’s efforts to hold Russia accountable. The transition’s openness to this private Russian outreach prior to taking office, so soon after Russia’s interference on Trump’s behalf, combined with Trump publicly questioning Russia’s involvement, signaled that there was little intention by the incoming administration to punish Russia for the assistance it had just provided in its unprecedented attack on American democracy."

I have no idea if it tipped the scales either and I agree we’ll never know. But it seems important to point out the fact that the Trump campaign consistently cooperated with a hostile foreign government. If you want to call that “pushing russiagate”… Sure? I guess?

They failed to learn there lesson in 2016 and now here we are.

You realize they won in 2020, right? So, did Dems learn a lesson which won them 2020 and then forget this time around? It kinda seems like you’re just spewing nonsense.
