The Young Turk is garbage that is funded by Republican investment firms (despite railing against Democrats for superPACS) lead by a genocide denier. I cannot take them seriously as a "legitimate" Democrat platform.

Republican investment firms? Did you mean to say Democratic?
And who is a genocide denier?

Only lefties who are desperate to be rid of Trump are going with the russia narrative.

That means pretty much every single Republican house and senate member desperately wants to get rid of Trump?
You won't find any Republican representative (aside from Trump) who has not accepted CIA, FBI and NSA's conclusion. Both Republicans and Democrats voted essentially unanimously (98-2 votes) to implement sanctions against Russia largely because of this.
And the two who voted no, one of whom was Bernie Sanders, don't deny the Russia narrative. They had other reasons for voting against it.

They also voted 97-2 to strip Trump of his ability to lift the Russia sanctions:

Even the Republicans appear to not trust Donald in regards to Russia.

No. Just no. The whole russia angle is about Trump supposedly working with Russia to win the election. If they can't prove that, they have jack shit. It is not about Russia trying to influence US elections. Russia has likely tried to influence US politics and elections since WWII. It's normal for countries to do that crap with eachother. The US had its hands in everyone's cookie jar so it doesn't have a leg to stand on with interfering in elections.

Dems do everything they can to incentivize illegal immigration while adamantly fighting any voter ID laws in any state. Gee.. I wonder why. So the only damn reason dems care about Russia or the rigging of elections now, it's politically convenient to use it to sway public opinion and trick normies into thinking he's not a legit president.
