I'd love to hear from any Clinton supporters what they think about the leaks.

 

But she hasn't pivoted back even after it became clear that she was winning the nomination. Mostly because I think her campaign slowly realized that this Democratic base isn't her husband's.

 

not a Clinton supporter pe se, but have always been pretty neutral for both her and Bernie

I'm not surprised at all that there was a smear campaign against Bernie, I also don't think that's the only reason Hillary got the nomination over Bernie

also I think the privacy concerns are equally important, obviously the DNC isn't the hero but neither is WikiLeaks, there are no heroes this election cycle except for arguably Bernie but then the hero was defeated

 

If she realizes this, then why pick Kaine for VP? She'll start pivoting back after the convention.

I'm not so sure I understand your privacy concerns, elections (even primaries) should be absolutely transparent.

 

more personal information like social security and credit card numbers shouldn't be public
WikiLeaks may have just published your SSN and credit card number

 

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigns

 

She's already started to and she will continue to pivot going forward. Sanders only recently endorsed her and this campaign is in the early stages of the pivot. The democrats aren't actually interested in leftist economic reform and only truly seem to push social reforms when they become overwhelmingly popular. They wouldn't even fight for single payer when they had the public support. Its disgraceful they even still have a base.

 

Omg

 

Thank you, Wikileaks

 

Maybe they'll replace her with Bernie, in order to corral progressive votes towards Hillary and assuage any fears that they're simply going to govern in a way that contradicts what he stands for.

 

I doubt Bernie wants the job but Keith Ellison would be a good pick

 

Yeah or Rybak

 

Hillary's statement is so tone deaf it's almost a work of art.

Ah didn't realize they included that, agree those #s should have been redacted.

 

This is actually insane

 

I wouldn't go that far

 

also

 

Trumps gonna win.

 

That statement just sounds so oblivious lol

 

I mean they're not perfect but if they directly lead to DWS resigning then I'm happy

 

"All right, folks. We've had a rough couple of days. How can I make my campaign more like a pair of motherfucking clown shoes?"

"Have the person that undermined the democratic process be part of your campaign?"

"Genius!"

 

What made the DNC vulnerable to this kind of hacking? Surprised the RNC wasn't hacked as well.

 

Maybe republican leaks come closer to November?

 

So how are these leaks proof of corruption exactly? All I've seen is that they were against Bernie but none of the strategies they talked about were actually used. Also, has anyone heard about how Putin could be behind them?

 

Haha probably, I would kill to read the emails they were sending when Trump was on the rise.

 

Unlikely that any Russian government associated hackers leak RNC emails
