Why many are willing to ignore Trump-Russia

Russian influence on our presidential election needs to be pursued for the sake of our democracy.

Yet this issue makes me uneasy. Why? 

Because it’s not at all certain that it helps us. My favorite comment this week was from a woman who I spoke to who felt that Trump was terrible, a religious Pence would be even worse—and yet she felt her only hope was that libertarians could somehow run a decent candidate.

Egberto wrote a great diary the other day on this topic that stuck with me. Although this topic needs to be pursued, let’s talk about how and why we need to keep working on promoting what we stand for—and why.
