Wikileaks has enabled annoying little shits like that, with a ridiculously partisan campaign against Clinton and for Trump. They ramble endlessly about mainstream media rigging the election against and alienating the population from Trump (blatantly ignoring the fact he does this all by himself), and completely ignore the sycophantic fawning and utter nonsense of the alt-right media and Wikileaks.

Trump threatens to sue everyone who says the slightest ill of him, and parades wikileaks, russian-sponsored hacking of Clinton and the DNC as a good thing, he's even asked Russia to hack Clinton some more. Assange is the biggest joke of this election cycle. Imagine the apoplectic rage from Trump and his crew if Wikileaks hacked the RNC and Trump, released his tax returns, his campaign emails, the RNC emails, and the like. I'd bet good money there would be far more damaging revelations from such a hack. However, it seems we shall never see such things, because Assange (and Russia) has a vested interest in Trump and the alt-right coming to power, or at the very least, becoming a greater and greater political force in America.
I posted this a couple of days ago but it is worth reposting. See how Twitter trolls see themselves as the fourth estate

TRUMP PLEDGES TO DRAIN THE SWAMP AND IMPOSE CONGRESSIONAL TERM LIMITS

There is another major announcement I am going to make today as part of our pledge to drain the swamp in Washington. If I am elected President, I will push for a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress.

Decades of failure in Washington, and decades of special interest dealing, must come to an end. We have to break the cycle of corruption, and we have to give new voices a chance to go into government service. The time for Congressional term limits has arrived.

...

If we let the Clinton Cartel run this government, history will record that 2017 was the year America lost its independence.

We will not let that happen.

It is time to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C.

That is why I am proposing a package of ethics reforms to make our government honest once again.

First: I am going to institute a 5-year ban on all executive branch officials lobbying the government after they leave government service.

Second: I am going to ask Congress to institute its own 5-year ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and their staffs.

Third: I am going to expand the definition of lobbyist so we close all the loopholes that former government officials use by labeling themselves consultants and advisors when we all know they are lobbyists.

Fourth: I am going to issue a lifetime ban against senior executive branch officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.

Fifth: I am going to ask Congress to pass a campaign finance reform that prevents registered foreign lobbyists from raising money in American elections.

Ann Coulter tweeted that "if only people with 4 grandparents born in the U.S. were voting, Trump would win in a 50 state landslide."

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's mother was born in Scotland. And his current wife and would-be First Lady was an illegal immigrant herself.

But yes, Ann, let's remake America in your xenophobic vision. :lol:

For me the weirdest part about these elections has to be that whoever loses faces real danger. Neither Trump nor Clinton is going to allow the other to walk away imo.

That would actually cause a constitutional crisis since electoral college elects the president officially, so she should wait a little bit

Best scenario would be for Hillary to win and die the day after
Not die, just step down.

Not as much danger as for the person who wins.
That too, yes.

Maybe I'm optimistic, but I believe in 20 years time we'll look back on these elections and think 'that's when we decided things needed to change'. I'm confident campaigns will become more civil and on topic again and less about spreading gossip about the other candidate.

I'm not so confident. I believe in the "cold civil war" as it's called. I also believe that the fundamentals of the economy and government are disrupted by accelerating technological change, and right now is as slow as those changes will happen in the future. So adjustments need to be made. I'm just not sure it's going to be solved in a generation, nor do I think the political part is anything more than superficial.
