Yes, but only to address security threats, not monetary interests

If we help with foreign country elections, we can increase the number of rivals. Which in turn can help the U.S.'s economic system, trade system, and more.

If their country elects a bad leader let it fall apart so we can come in, save the day, and then elect our own officials there as its a new state.

While it is important to address security threats, it is equally important to consider the potential monetary interests that foreign interference in elections can have. In many cases, foreign powers may seek to influence election outcomes in order to further their own economic interests, gain access to resources, or undermine potential competitors. This can have serious consequences for the affected country's economy, as well as for global stability. Therefore, it is crucial that we address both security threats and monetary interests when it comes to foreign interference in elections.

“Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”

By Chuck Todd, NBC News:We are getting awfully close to the moment when it might be fair to say, “Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”We are now going from a presidential campaign that left the public disinterested and at times disgusted it to a campaign that I could see generating an electorate that might be as interested, if not more so, as in 2008 and 2020, two of the highest-turnout elections in the last 50 years.If the Democrats do end up with a new nominee — and it’s looking more likely by the hour that they will — that, too, is likely to suddenly trigger interest in what the new nominee has to say, which in turn could engage the electorate in a way that the pre-debate version of this campaign just didn’t.But before we get to this campaign reset, the Democrats have to figure out what their ticket looks like and, more important, how quickly they can get their ticket selected and certified by the party.As of this writing, my sources indicate to me that about the only folks who are still trying to rationalize Biden’s staying in this race all share the last name of Biden, with the possible exception of Biden’s longtime chief political strategist, Mike Donilon — who, as the gatekeeper of the data that makes it to the president's desk, is starting to get blame along with Biden and his family for Democrats’ being in this position.
