And yet they were necessary to illustrate the truth: that the DNC, corporate media, Clinton Inc. and the Democratic establishment did everything in their power to sabotage Bernie and progressives in the 2016 primaries

Still with this PROVEN Russian disinformation? Sheesh! Even when @ShaunKing is making an effort to be conciliatory, the brobots continue....

These are indistinguishable from domestic appeals to voters. So this whole thing is based on the argument from origin fallacy. Ridiculous how politics makes people forget critical thinking.

Yep. And I'd take all #russiagate w/ a grain of salt. It's 2 yrs later & they "indicted" some Russians to bolster their lackluster performance. No hard evidence. WMD lies come to mind. Still believe emails were leaked, not hacked.

WHile I voted for Bernie in the primary, I have kind of soured on him, and I agree that the hacks and leaks damaged the campaign, though the ones regarding risotto and getting a dessert made me actually like Mrs. Clinton a great deal more than I did previously.

Bernie still lost any way we slice it. But he'll be back at again. We should be ready

Unfortunately, I believe he was one of the distractions....

They also sought to benefit Bernie and many of his supporters fell for it.

First of all, how did they benefit Bernie? Secondly, what do you mean “fell for it”? The emails were real. We can say that they shouldn’t have been released, but there was nothing to fall for. Thirdly, if they fell for it, why did approx 90% of Sanders supporters vote for HRC?

Bernie had lost the black vote in the south before the emails came out and that is the reason he was so far behind. So how was that rigged? Why would the DNC embrace a non-democrat? Despite the emails, he lost the VOTES. The rhetoric of Bernie supporters were not helpful.

The Black vote was not meaningful for the General. What was meaningful is that there was a surge of Black votes in the mid-west for Bernie and pretty much everywhere once folks got to know him. +

+ But the DNC and the Clinton campaign conspired to put a fork in it as Tom Perez said in the emails of Berni. And the Clinton-owned media repeatedly lied and said Blacks did not support him when they did. But that's cool w/you?

No. We really didn’t.

Yes, and I fail to see what the Clintons have done for any minority group (including my own) to earn such devotion. Did they provide relief for neighborhoods devastated by deindustrialization, globalization or the disappearance of work? No. Read this. https://www.thenation.com/article/hillary-clinton-does-not-deserve-black-peoples-votes/ …
