The motive of the hacker/whistleblower does not negate the content of the data and the motive(s) of the hacked. If you claim the outrage about it is just an act, you (involuntarily?) reveal much more about both your sense of justice and the relevance of the primary system than you might realize. If this had…

I don’t, however, think that the findings are surprising or all that damning.

A few hundred among 12 million is a ‘not insignificant’ number? Then what would be an insignificant number? One ore two protesters? Still too many in your attempt to get everyone to march into lockstep?

Bernie Sanders amassed about 12 million votes during the primaries. How big was this protest?

You seek confirmation for your professional work from reports on The Slot? That’s like a scientist mistaking ‘Ghostbusters’ for a documentary.

You seem to believe the Clinton campaign and the DNC that evil Russia must be behind this. Teenagers have hacked the Pentagon and other high security facilities in the past. What makes you so sure that a foreign player is behind this and not some anonymous civilian who just loves to mix it up a little bit?

Oh dear!

If Sanders had won, you narrative would be *Two old white men. Fuck’em!* Then you would vote for Sanders and stay mum about it. Same will happen here, unless the Clinton campaign declares every white man their mortal enemy (minus Bill and Tim Kaine of course). I wouldn’t bet on her supporters not to go this way.

If we now hate Wikileaks for, you know, illegally obtaining data and publishing it, are we still supposed to love Chelsea Manning?

Remember the ‘Obama boys’ back in 2008? Yeah, those didn’t exist either. Nice racist connotation though :(

‘These people’ are two fucking people they found! Not surprisingly, knowing the jezebel narrative in Clinton vs Sanders, these are the only people they talked about. I don’t even want to know how many white racist Clinton supporters did not vote for Barack Obama in 2008. Nobody cared about it then, cuz conservatives…

Makes perfect sense. You pay someone and guarantee they won’t talk to the media. I wonder what the Clinton campaign knew about the role of the DNC in this?

Some of them proved to be fucking hypocrites by trying to paint Sanders negatively for his purported atheism and his religion (he is jewish) in the south. Antisemitism seems to be cool when coming from Democrats.

A few months ago, this serial rapist cop was sentenced to 260 years or so, so he’ll never see the light of day again, even though all his victims are alive. Why should he be in prison for the rest of his life, but a murderer should be out on parole, just b/c she was ‘only’ 19 when she killed in cold blood? Funny thing…

He’s a solid left Democrat

Yes I can see why Hillary Clinton would pick this guy. Oh, and what happened to all the Jezebel commenters who were all but certain that it would be an all woman ticket or a black or latino candidate cuz Hillary is oh so progressive? Now you all have to convince yourself what a great pick Kaine is. Can you say…

Well, after you’ve described white men so succinctly I have to wonder - has ‘doughy white man’ replaced ‘mediocre white man’ as a synonym for any melanin deprived person with a penis? If someone had qualified a black woman as ‘big butted black woman’, you’d have gotten a ragestroke, wouldn’t you?

So the waistline should be a factor for her VP pick? No doughy people of color apparently?

Another hacker believed to be directly involved in the Fappening, Ryan Collins, was arrested in March and accepted a plea deal, though it’s still unclear how exactly the leak happened.
