> Russia is a hyper regressive, anti liberal, anti democratic, low human rights, dictatorship. My interests are particularly not served by allowing companies from Russia to spy on me.

Russia is also on the other side of the globe, has a GDP that is less than Italy (despite having way more people and land), and is, essentially, irrelevant outside of online trolling and Agi-Prop.

Meanwhile the person who is going to kick down my door is a US citizen, as is the person who is going to vote to take away my healthcare.

if Russia is so irrelevant, what's with all this hysteria about Trump colluding with Russians?

Because if the centrists in the Democratic party divert to Russian collusion, they don't have to take the long hard look in the mirror wrt to why they lost in 2016.
