What makes you think we have done it “more” that the Russians have? Russia as the USSR kept entire nations under the thumb of the communist party, controlling their elections for years.

There’s no data on who does it “more.” Suffice it to say if there’s opportunity everyone will do it, if it’s in their interest.

Russia in this context is the Russians from 2000 - NOW ie. Putin’s regime. I am sure we did more interference, but only for the fact that Russia is economically poor and could only afford to interfered in places directly affecting it like Ukraine, Crimea, etc... Where the USA interfered in countries not even bordering itself. Maybe I should have said we interfered needlessly in elections that were not even vital for direct national security for advancing socialism like how Obama did.

The USSR certainly worked against elections in many countries from 1917 - 1991

But the whole point was to show how even the vaunted Obama interfered in MANY other country’s elections.
