No, America, It Wasnt Russia: You Did This to Yourself

[JCanete]

8. Unless Russia literally hacked our machines, any other manipulation, assuming it was effective,

rests at the hands of our very own corporate owned news media that couldn't be arsed to do reporting, and was happy to report non-stories over policies and issues...the kind of shit that ensured Clinton handly took care of Sanders(or more to the point that there usually are no Sanders at all) but also caused her to be edged out in the GE by a buffoon.

I do not blame the DNC for not being jobs focused enough. Either they go all in against corporate influence or they are just leaving it up to the corporate media to frame our leaders and message however befits it anyway. Whether we were weak on these matters or not is kind of moot in the face of Trump's platform, which promises to do horrible things to the economy, national defense, and equality.

If all the media wants to report on is that Comey hints at maybe finding something out about Clinton for two whole weeks before the election, I submit that therein lies our problem. Unfortunately it doens't let the DNC off the hook, in only makes our party look like suckers for continuing to believe that we can play nice with corporations and the media and that that will translate into a chance to make good policy. It hasnt turned out that way. Over and over, it has not turned out that way.
