    What does this have to do with my comment? You’re the one that said the “world told itself” something. I’m saying it didn’t.

      The world told itself even though they knew the USA was stupid enough to do it anyways.

      Your entire comment could have been a campaign by the opposition to sow discontent to do exactly what you claim it did. We will never know for sure, but it sure as hell has propaganda written all over it.

          Leaked by the Russians which are backed by republicans… yeah reaks of propaganda lmfao.

          Propaganda comes in many forms, as I said, the best kind is the kind you don’t even understand is happening.

          Thanks for making my point so well!

            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.
