@metal-brain saidI don't get it. Are you saying that campaign ads steal elections?
Yes you can. Just like campaign ads don't change votes. Are you claiming campaign ads cannot swing an election? Why not let Russia run campaign ads in the USA then?
Democrats claimed RT running ads was election meddling. No change in votes. Hillary claimed Trump stole the election from her, but she never claimed there was a change in votes.

@wildgrass saidGoogle is big. Bigger than facebook. I don't think you want to see the big picture here.

I don't get it. Are you saying RT running ads on social media steals elections?
American news media organizations do that all of the time. Why is it stealing elections when Russia does that here?
Why is Russia banned from placing campaign ads here in the USA. The news media here in the USA favors one candidate over another all of the time? Why should you care if Russia does it here as well? And why does PBS have BBC America on our public television if foreign news organizations are not supposed to be influencing our elections? Why is Russian propaganda vilified in the USA while British propaganda is encouraged? Is it because British and American propaganda are perfectly aligned?

@shavixmir said"rich people can afford more advertisements... are they stealing elections?"
It's not stealing an election that, is it?
I mean rich people can afford more advertisements... are they stealing elections?
Or if someone has a great personality... is he stealing an election?
Besides, there is a difference between reality and the alt-right crap that any sane search engine would be filtering.
That is actually a good question. Are they? I am asking you. Are they and if not why not? Should Russia be able to place campaign ads favoring one candidate over another in the USA and UK? If not, why?
Doesn't the BBC steal elections in the UK? If not, why not let RT broadcast news on public TV in the USA and UK? In the USA RT merely running RT ads on facebook is considered election meddling. Right? That is what was concluded during anti Russian hysteria brought about by a conspiracy theory saying Russia stole the election from Hillary Clinton. Right?

Why are you evading Shavs point, US democracy is in the hands of the rich, mainly corporations but also individuals
Simple answer limit the amount any party or candidate can spend on electioneering and any candidate who can garner enough signatures but cannot meet that limit should be used out of federal and state funds up to that limit.

@kevcvs57 saidThis is all about what the definition of "stealing elections" is. Nobody seems to agree. Define it. Then I will answer.

@sonhouse saidYou are a liar. There is no evidence Russia helped swing the election. The CIA does though. You are forgetting that the CIA created google.
