We need to stop this nonsense. The Russians spent a few hundred thousand on social media ads in this election cycle, and frankly a lot of them explicitly supported Progressive causes. Meanwhile, Trump and Clinton spent $81 million. Scroll Facebook for 90 seconds and you'll probably see a dozen ads "impressed" on you. Can you remember a single one? Three?

Seems like we've been happily doing that ourselves for quite a while now.
