Two problems with that line of reasoning. First, the Democrats are not blaming the Russians or anyone else. The Democrats are hiding beneath their beds and saying nothing. The Democrats are not challenging anything. The second problem with the "Democrats are to blame, not the Russians" argument is that it's victim blaming. If the Russians intervened to help Donald Trump, then the Russians and Donald Trump are to blame for that. Not the Democratic Party.
The fourth factor is the duty of all Americans to confront Donald Trump. Donald Trump did not win a plurality of votes in the presidential election. He lost by nearly three million votes. Yet he is launching a radical political and social assault on the communities and values of those who voted in the majority against him and for his opponent, Hillary Clinton. That is unfair and un-American.
Donald Trump should not be, must not be, issued a free pass on any assistance he received from the Russian government in his pursuit of power. Right now Democrats, Republicans, and Congress as a whole are driving by this issue with their windows rolled up.
If Donald Trump's ascent to the presidency was aided by a foreign power, he must be held accountable. We owe that to ourselves, future generations, and the world.
