This is like pointing at someone for speeding 5 miles an hour over the speed limit and saying they were "speeding to exfiltrate information".
I believe in building a strong democrat party but this is more bullshit:
1. Recount
2. Electoral
3. Russia
All bullshit, and it won't work. As pointed out above, Trump supporters don't care, and he won't either.
Governments spy, it's what they do. Did we think the 10,000 person Russian intelligence unit was for show? Putin RAN the KGB.
The fucking CIA created the garbage known as "modern art" in an effort to win the cold war. Russia and the US lied about everything, and between them they have enough nukes to wipe out humanity. Move on you lazy dummies.

Of course it's what govts do, but usually govt's are smart enough not to get caught but also hacking is usually a "passive" role gathering intel not an aggressive role such as melding in elections or releasing the captured information to harm one candidate but not releasing information on the other.
This is what Russia did, it wasn't a simple case of tit for tat information stealing which all govts do, it was direct interference in US election. That is why it's a bigger deal and will cause the US govt to seek reprisals.
Everyone knows we hack each other for information, this was not that. This was on the level of saying taking out a power plant.. It was a actual attack not a "cyber" attack.
