gimme the GOD drat candy posted:does it talk about how the dnc supported trump in an attempt to sabotage the republican primary in favor of a candidate clinton could easily beat? People whine about the media's role in the election and how terrible they are for giving trump so much airtime and it's really quite bizarre: that was the literal strategy of the dnc. It's like the left is mad for the media going along with the dumbshit tactic they came up with. How dare they cover Trump so much!! *hillary disappears for a month straight* Sebastien Lenorman posted:Really loving the hacking being called a "Russian attack on our election" or "Russian interference in our election" when its literally just publishing unaltered emails. If they'd been polite, non-shady politicians the russians wouldnt have anything but "here are our fundraising metrics" and "here is our schedule" to leak in the first place! ON TOP OF THAT: This was a candidate at the time reeling from accusations of being lax with cybersecurity. How did they not have the fort knox of IT staff, locking down everything tight so nothing could get out after a year of "you dont protect your emails well enough". Trump is a disaster yet at least he knew when to fire campaign staff that exceeded their shelf life. It's like she learned literally nothing from 2007/8 it's fuckin' nuts.

VikingSkull posted:The thing I can't square is why was Obama telling her to not go after a recount if he knew the Russians meddled in the election, that makes no sense. Seems like a slam dunk case for a recount if I ever heard one. Well because it wasn't actual hacking of the voter boxes and everyone knew that. It was more things like 'publishing poo poo the dnc actually said'. And Russia interference on every level really isn't a good thing but to be quite honest the problem was much more that her campaign was complete amateur hour and couldn't put even minor issues to bed. Compare how Obama handled things like 'you didn't build that' and Jeramiah Wright to poo poo like the emails. I mean the truth is Obama is almost certainly much much cleaner but he also had the ability to not have a single issue dog him from the beginning of primary to literally the last day of the general election. To put the bulk of the blame on Russia, as her campaign postmortum has endlessly tried to do, is a complete joke. It's going to be very hard to get an accurate retelling of the hillary campaign simply because it's going to be one sided stories from a bunch of incompetent campaign staff trying to cover their rear end and present themselves in the best possible light. Of course that happens to some degree for every campaign autopsy but it's going to be a lot worse for this one. TROIKA CURES GREEK fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Apr 18, 2017 |

 like no wonder the left was so stunned by all this considering they apparently have no idea how US elections work.
