      And that’s how propaganda works folks.

      Edit

      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!

          For one thing, telling yourself something doesn’t mean you don’t understand that it can and may still happen.

          The best part of propaganda is when you don’t even understand that’s what it is.

            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.

        That edit is absolutely embarrassing. Is your team winning really more important than democracy? It’s “propaganda” when real emails proving bias are leaked because it was your preferred political party? Come on.

          Team…? What are you on?

          Yes leaking private e-mail exchanges to gain political advantage is textbook propaganda, what else would it be…?

          My apologies that you assumed “conspiracy” in my comments that was just talking about the factual leak, that the republicans used to their advantage. Without that propaganda they would have found or made more. This really isn’t a difficult concept, once you stop assuming “conspiracy”… since that was not even once mentioned until you did……
