> the Russian election. And though they're obviously rigged, the US one isn't some glorious opportunity for the will of the people to be heard either.
Again, there is no comparison. It's like saying Hitler and the U.S. both used internment camps in WWII, therefore they are morally equal.
Self-determination and liberty are not necessarily moral either. There have been moral despots and immoral democracies, there is more involved than that.

Yes, there is. On basic principle, the choice between two is not far better than one choice. Beyond that, some of the things done to rig American elections are worse than what Putin does. For example, in 68 Nixon interfered in Vietnam peace talks to ensure election. What would have happened without that is unclear, but it potentially cost hundreds of thousands of lives.
