Point 1 - there is zero evidence of any kind that the Russians, or in fact anyone hacked the election in terms of the actual vote tallies, so calling it election hacking is demonstrably false and is being done deliberately to distract from the actual cause of the loss, Hillary is a shitty candidate, Obama tried to saddle himself up at the end and told people their vote was for his legacy, and there was ample evidence that the Democrat party essentially rigged their primary process in a very anti-democratic way - kind of like how they blamed an obscure youube video for the cause of the military assault on the Benghazi consulate
Point 2 - releasing damaging insider information is part and parcel of any election cycle, but this is NOT the election itself, this is news and the two are not and have never been synonymous - that it was so easy to do against the dem's and appears to have been unsuccessful against the Republicans suggests we the people made the right choice in terms of who can be trusted with sensitive information
Point 3 - what was relased has not been denounced as false or manipulated in any meaningful or convincing way, they are butthurt it got out, not that they were caught colluding with a biased and partisan media, not that they cheated their own primary voters, not that they turn out to be the very fascist monsters they have long accused the right of being - but that they got caught
Unless and until any on the left come to grips with those 3 truths there is no point in even trying to have a conversation.
