    Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The emails came at a shit time for the DNC for sure, maybe the Republicans were involved, maybe they weren’t, but that’s irrelevant because this actually happened. This isn’t a conspiracy theory, it isn’t propaganda, this is a bed the DNC made for themselves.

    Imo it wouldn’t have made a difference, everyone watching knew what was happening before the email leak, but obviously we’ll never know for sure.

      The propaganda is it being leaked, who said conspiracy…?

      Also, that very likely wouldn’t have made a difference in the end result, without that discourse they would have found another avenue.

      I’m sorry the propaganda worked so well on you, you now even defending it!

      Edit, what do you think propaganda is? Do you think it has be exclusively made up or something?

        Can you describe what you think the leak of those emails being was trying to achieve, from a propaganda perspective?

          The information in it was used by republicans to show how the DNC can’t choose its own leader, so why should they be trusted to run the government.

          It’s not what I think, it’s the tactic they actually used.
