Double displacement
Sudden clarity:
This Russian hacking shit is a double displacement.
Most importantly and broadly, Hillary lost because she was on the wrong side. She lost for EXACTLY the same reason that McCain lost in 2008 and Romney lost in 2012. Americans are tired of permanent war. Americans are tired of permanent poverty to enrich the Chosen.
McCain was the perfect warrior, so he lost to Obama who claimed to offer change from war. Romney was the perfect banker, so he lost to Obama who claimed to offer change from banks. Hillary was the perfect warrior AND the perfect banker, so she lost to Trump who claimed to offer change.
Three times in a row Americans voted to move away from war and banks.
All explanations of Hillary's loss that miss this simple fact are false.
On the specific displacements: The fakers are claiming that Russia hacked DNC because Russia wanted Trump to win.
It's unquestionable that Russia wants America to make less war. Americans ALSO want America to make less war, which is why Putin resonates with so many of us.
But this has NOTHING to do with Wikileaks, and very little to do with Russia's propaganda. Russia's open propaganda has always been pro-Progressive and pro-Bernie, not pro-Trump.
Wikileaks showed two themes repeatedly and consistently:
1. DNC and Hillary were working for Saudi interests.
2. DNC and Hillary cheated Bernie in every primary and caucus.
If we want to talk about COUNTRIES and CANDIDATES, Wikileaks was about SAUDI and BERNIE.
Now we're supposed to believe that Wikileaks was about RUSSIA and TRUMP.
Double displacement, on top of the major distraction from Hillary's basic wrongness.
