How we regarded election fraud and systemic bias in the primary

57. I'm pointing out the disparity of reactions around here.

Election interference is totally excusable when it helps, and utterly inexcusable when it doesn't. Even as far as mocking our own voters. That hypocrisy made space for this kind of mess, and the reason democrats in power are largely downplaying it is because they don't want to eat a bunch of crow.

I also happen to believe that the hacking isn't the reason Clinton lost. Now, if we get some evidence that voting machines were tampered with and results were actually manipulated, that's a very different ball of wax. But right now all the talk is about them taking advantage of incompetent IT within the DNC (it has been incompetent for quite some time) and airing out their dirty laundry.

In a way that's amusing, seeing as it's a dem president at the helm during the vast expansion of invasive domestic electronic spying. Seems like they'd know to prepare better. Either way, it did reveal some actual bad behavior, like the DNC treatment of the Sanders campaign, the odd way donations to states was siphoned back to the presidential campaign, and Brazile's collusion and cheating. The hackers didn't make that stuff up; it's all verified at this point, and it made Clinton look bad. Had Clinton's campaign and allies behaved as they're supposed to, there would have been a whole lot less impact from that dump.

Not calling THAT out, I see

Next time I'm psychic I'll make it a point to do things in the order you like best.
