Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, MFA spokeperson Maria Zakharova says she is puzzled by Mueller's indictment of 13 Russians for interfering in US elections.
Zakharova says they were "employed by a lawfully functioning company" [IRA–Troll Factory] and none of them ever tried to conceal what they do for a living."

CNN poll: 72% of Americans say they are concerned about foreign government interference in US elections generally. 60% say they are not confident President Trump is doing enough to prevent foreign countries from influencing future US elections

Which Poll? Please give specific attributions. Not assertions by the White House.

Perhaps about time to have a poll.
"Oh I didn't vote in 2016 so why bother to answer a silly poll"
Sigh...
About time that the US wakes up!
Otherwise we outsiders will have a wake for you.

Whatever.
If the turnout in an election is less than 50%...
That means that the population doesn't care!

I don't know what "they don't have the choice burn the above at the stake" means.
But what I do know is that voting in a democracy is very important.
And why do you have to register to vote in the US?
Here we are already registered to vote beeing a Swedish citizen.

Yes voting is very important. But having choices to vote for is equally important.
Nearly half of the registered voters were so sick of the choices they didn't vote last election. That is the downside of a two party system.

But that goes for all countries in a democracy. Two party system or more party system.

The down side is the more parties there are the smaller the winning majority is. For me that means fewer folks are deciding our future direction.

I'm expecting the largest turn out at the polls this mid-term than ever before. The sleeping silent majority giant is slowing waking up. It will be all about the Supreme Court. One more conservative judge and we are good for another 30 to 50 years. har...

Any Sid Meier's Civilization players here. Try some of your governing ideas/models in that media and see how far they go. Poo poo all you want, those that have played know what I am talking about.

Hehe:)
I have played Sid Meier's Civilization many times.
And other games like that as well.
And war games.
And playing those make me realise that Trump is a big time неудачники as they say in Russia:)

Oh I have played war games with the great great son of an Estonian Prime Minister that served his country during the Stalin era in the 30's.
For some odd reason he always liked to play a Russian.
Ypa, Ypa, Ypa he yelled when he won:)

It gives you a little bit of a feel of what global politics are really about. Take care of the people and they will provide. Simple... I feel you have a better understanding from such simple games. IMHO

Civ seems to be the least bias, rather straight forward, mechanical, mathematical. Politics only goes so far but most are political driven.

I have played a game called Tropico.
The game is tongue-in-cheek in its presentation of semi-democratic banana republics, using a great deal of humor while still referencing such topics as totalitarianism, electoral fraud, and the interventions of powerful companies (United Fruit is implied) and the Cold War superpowers (the United States and Soviet Union).
Vote El Presidente or else:)

Tropico, sorry it did not hold my attention for very long, so I have not much to say about it.

Not saying good or bad, I was not entertained by it which amounts to nothing IMHO. har...

Every country that can is gaming every country that it can.

Just do not get caught... har
