    It’s funny hearing elected officials talk about election interference. Like, you won the election, would you have lost otherwise? Is China responsible for getting Kier Starmer elected? What is the consequence of this election interference?

    With Russiagate there was this unserious but emotionally satisfying idea that Russia somehow tipped the scales in favor of Trump, who presumably would not have been elected otherwise (lmao). But like, what’s the argument in the UK, or Canada? Where is the actual interference? What do they think China is trying to do? Why?
