Doesn't it sound far too benign, almost like something high school pranksters would engage in? I'm not sure what would suffice, even "the willful undermining of our democracy by Russia" seems to lack the proper level of national outrage.

I felt similarly when so many Catholic priests were found to be "molesting" children. "Molesting" seemed far removed from the despicable, graphic, sustained, and institutionalized violence that was forced upon thousands of children.

Words matter, and too often we aren't precise enough when using them.
