Look guys, its clear that Moridin is either intellectually incapable of tempering evidence with critical plausibility, or is just deliberately being obtuse.

In both cases, there is literally no justification to trying to debate him.

IIRC it's mostly true on paper but the framing is purposefully misleading. Obama tried to get rid of DWS in 2014 but DWS threatened to accuse him of being sexist. That'd mean Obama was somehow reneging on this "deal."

Also, yes, top Democratic politicians do stuff with each other. That sort of thing happens in politics. Clinton's well-connected with her party, which helped secure endorsements, but was spun into her being corrupt establishment.

Also given that Sanders came from polling in 20s to 30s to actually contesting the primary, if the whole thing was a stitch-up by the DNC, they were incredibly incompetent at it. And the most damning thing in the emails has been that, yes, the people in the DNC preferred the establishment candidate over the outsider. There's no evidence whatsoever of "rigging" the system. The worst thing I can think of that actually happened was having less debates and holding them outside of prime time.

It is true that image in being shared among crackpot liberals to discredit Hillary Clinton.

Can you elaborate here

Assange wouldn't be trying to disrupt the DNC with weaksauce stuff like the Fox news transcript. This is kinda his big chance to make the Bernie or Busters solidify their position before being swayed into the mainstream via the convention. If he can get them to sit out the convention, to start looking into anti-Hillary media, then they can be lost to Hillary permanently. So in this period between Conventions he'd want to use his most powerful stuff ASAP to hurt the unity message. Instead it seems like the party has majorly unified, so anything further is going to be increasingly muted in its impact. The general method of Assange's leaking stuff like the Manning material is that he shoots his load early, makes vague promises of damning stuff, then the leaks dribble away.

If the DNC knows there is actually dangerous stuff in the emails, they'd be trying to head it off. In particular an internal investigation would be launched pretty drat soon. They will want to expose anything bad looking on their own terms before Wikileaks does, so that they can frame the message around it and quarantine away anyone dangerous and make them out to be lone actors.

So why do you want to bring that problem which shouldn't even exist to other traffic incidents, exactly? Like those things are entirely a scam by the camera companies and the politicians who get fat kickbacks.

Like we're already talking about having been pulled over by the cop, there's no reason for them to rely on something that can be super inaccurate.

I don't?

What do you think we're going to find in this hack? Gaddafi emailing Hillary thanking her for Benghazi and saying the check's in the mail? Cattle futures insider information from 1978? Flight manifests from Epstein's lolito sex plane featuring Marco and Dmitr?

Hopefully not some dumb low level staffers saying things that will be wildly misconstrued for click bait. What I really want to see come up in a hack is the RNC's opposition research on Bernie and strategies to be used against him.

Image politics mostly. If we turn a large forum into a pro-Hill zone through coordinated group posting it creates the image that she is popular and beloved which convinces the indifferent Sheeple to bandwagon support her for president over legitimate threats to global hegemony like Jill Stein.
