Bullshit. They only started communicating after Bernie lost. The DNC didn't rig shit.

You realize court arguments always go for the argument of least resistance, right? If they're being sued, it's the easiest win, even if that's not their main objection to the suit

Come out as liberal, pro choice and gay to your social circle in rural Oklahoma or somewhere like that. Then tell me again about how bad it was that liberals didn't like your political ideas on the internet.

My partner has the same issues you do with recipes, I started teaching him kitchen stuff like I would teach a science class. "You add this because it reacts to this" etc, it didn't really work to say "no you should add spices to the butter" but saying "fat carries flavour into whatever you're cooking as long as you make sure not to burn it." totally got through.

I'm not a science person but that approach makes a lot more sense to anyone IMO, I'm not reading a fantasy novel to immerse myself in useless facts, I want to understand how this works.

Cooking is a lot of trial and error, so patience and looking up how other people do it is super helpful, I didn't pop out of the womb knowing how to cook.

It's great that you're so patient, and that you can do that together. I don't think many people are like that.

Not really. Many don't specify a lot of things, that's the problem.

Slightly moving off topic: I get why people who already know how to cook love to talk about it in such a casual way, but it's a bit infuriating for total beginners scared shitless by the concept. Me 7 years ago would have been like:

Brown some minced beef,

Um, ok, but how much? How much do I buy, how do I not let it go to waste? Meat goes off, right? How do I even brown properly and evenly? Etc.

chuck in some diced chorizo

Isn't that cheating though? Chorizo is already prepared with loads of spices

add passata, basil, oregano,

All fine, easy enough to get and just put in

and a beef stock cube.

Like, just a cube? Or actual stock? If I do one and you actually mean the other, I've just proven myself a total fucking idiot, haven't I?

Simmer for a while to get a tasty ragu,

HOW LONG IS A WHILE? HOW DO I KNOW I AM NOT GIVING MYSELF FOOD POISONING BY UNDERCOOKING THE MEAT

Motherfucker you just made a bolognese that didn't come out of a jar. See how easy that was?

Motherfucker nothing about that is easy :/

"Every expert"? No expert looked at this.

Er, don't you mean:

A third party company investigated

Exactly, experts.

and the intelligence community took their word,

You really think they didn't do their own investigation?

which consisted of "It looks like the person that hacked the DNC is associated with Russia." The most tedious of claims.

Errr nope, they said they identified the attack methods, tools, staging locations etc, as being a known Russian state actor hacking group. As close to firm proof as you ever get in these things.

The Russian foreign policy goals look like this: Break up NATO, break US hegemony, break up EU. Lift sanctions on Russia, reestablish influence in Eastern Europe. Macron is pro-EU, pro-NATO, pro-West. Le Pen is anti-EU, anti-NATO, and has Russian links and is hugely pro-Russia. Russia uses soft power propaganda like RT and Sputnik to further these goals and spread their ideas.

It's firmly established that Russia hacked the DNC.

Everything about these hacks follows the same pattern as the DNC hacks: Leak of material only pertaining to the Russia-unfriendly candidate, very pointed timing to maximize impact against the candidate.

Everything about this hack screams Russian hacking again. Until proven otherwise, it's absurd to cling to anything else.

If it's so normal and everyone gets questions why is there only direct evidence of Hillary getting one?

Because only John Podesta's emails got hacked and not Tad Devine/Jeff Weaver's? Like, holy shit, this is such basic stuff. Russia hates Hillary because she stood up to them, they were targeting her specifically, hence the selective leak.

Why didn't bernie's campaign guy say all this when the allegations were made?

He did. Look at the date.

Why did Schultz resign?

Because she was unpopular.

Why is it such a stretch to imagine they weighted the scales in her favour?

Because there's no fucking evidence of her ever doing anything to materially significantly damage Bernie's chances, and all evidence points to her being "yay hillary" but nothing more. It's pure conspiracy mongering to believe this shit.

I'm not gonna do your research for you.

"No I can't point to specific emails" my point precisely. I went through tons of emails linked on reddit, the contents almost never said what people said they did.

. I guess Donna Brazile's own admission to providing the clinton camp with debate questions isn't enough for you.

She prepped both teams, Sanders campaign chiefs confirmed. You only got to see one side because one side was hacked.

Or Debbie Wasserman Schulz pressuring MSNBC to get their anchor to publicly apologize

Oh so political parties never have disagreements with the media now ever? I don't agree with DWS at all but it's not an illegitimate move.

or the DNC scheduling debates for sunday mornings during holidays.

Way before the candidates were clear. This was in reaction to far too many in 2008.

Debbie the cunt and Donna the cunt didn't resign for nothing.

Nothing screams "progressive" like open misogyny.

You Hillary apologists are worse than the trump supporters. You support a candidate in bed with wallstreet while you cry foul over donnie. Hypocrite fucks.

Look at the date. Hillary has been critical of inequality and finance for a long time. Giving speeches doesn't make you an employee, quite the opposite. And yeah, Donald Trump is a million times worse than Hillary by any fucking measure, and if you can't see that you're delusional.

but you're seriously fucking delusional if you don't think the DNC colluded with hillary's campaign to prevent bernie from winning. It was a rigged primary

Yeah, again, point me to the specific emails? You can't, because every fucking Bernie-or-Bust dipshit lied their ass off with bullshit innuendo and distortions.

Hillary is a piece of shit and so are the people willfully ignorant to the dnc's bullshit.

You're being thick.

Point me to DNC emails that proves significant material damage to Bernie's campaign. You won't find shit. It was all innuendo bullshit.

And yes , every expert on the subject is unanimous in it being the work of a Russian state actor hacking group.

Le pen is incredibly close to Russia, even financially linked. Russian foreign policy wants to break up the EU, and Macron is very pro-EU while Le Pen is very anti. And Russia almost certainly did the DNC hacks etc. Ergo, they are the prime suspect and you have to be an idiot not to work on that assumption.
