You're getting downvoted by people who don't like that you think clinton was bad.

You're point though is true. The $10-200k that russia supposedly spent and the surrounding meme/fake news bubble that expanded around it simply didn't have the influence that people keep claiming it did.

And even if it did, does anyone honestly think that Russia has not been using the US media to try to "influence" elections since at least the end of WWII? Not that it makes it OK, but let's be realistic and understand that this is nothing new.

Nope, no one does. But the recent bout of cyberwarfare was directly due to the magnitsky act economically damaging Putin and his inner circle.
