It wasn't Putin but...

[topum]

No, Hillary didn't lose because of Putin (also not because of 'fake news', racism, transphobia). She lost because she was a horrible candidate (which has never been news to DNC). A truly horrible candidate.

But still, no matter how much you might hate Hillary and how convinced you might be that Trump would have won anyway, you still can think that investigating possible Russian meddling in the US election is important.

All this looking at everything not with finding the truth in mind but thinking how you can stress the part that supports your existing position and obscure and discredit the part that doesn't help your side asap and by whatever means is hilarious (and quite unfortunate).

The concern with the hacking of both DNC and RNC is not that Hillary would win, but "Can Trump be blackmailed" with whatever was taken?

That's why I say that it must be investigated (but yeah, it would be hard to blackmail US president no matter what they have taken. Everyone hacks everyone in that world, US (Obama and Hillary btw) were constantly doing it to Germans, French, whoever and it has been proven even). I just don't get how if you one is pro Trump then you would just dismiss all of this outright and if one is pro Hillary than you would make way a bigger deal out of it than we now have reasons to believe it is just to delegitimise Trump because you are super bitter and a drama queen about the inevitable racist transphobic holocaust that is now inevitably upon us (you know posting those internet pictures with captions that this is how it started in Germany, etc). We hack Putin all the time, he hacks us, the same goes for Chinese. That's the world we have been living in for a while now.

I half agree. Hillary's not the only horrible person; Trump is slightly more horrible and look at how his cabinet is full of: rich henchmen full of climate change skepticism and bigotry. The Russian-based alt-right is on the rise and that is not a good thing. If only the DNC would've selected Bernie Sanders...

I did not say she was a horrible person, I just said she was a horrible presidential candidate. Trump is awful, but she was such an awful candidate that she actually lost to Trump (lost to Trump!).
