Could the anti-Hillary agenda simply be that he has leaks on her? The DNC stuff was damning, as was the reaction. (Bad actor resigns, gets immediately hired without reprimand?) He's said negative Trump stuff - how has he been positive there? If someone brought internal Trump emails, do you think WL wouldn't publish them?

If this had been flipped, and he had only published anti-Trump stuff, would you be making the same comment? (Honest question.)

You are right to question this. His comment parrots the opinion of the HRC campaign which there is zero evidence for.

I think people's opinions are polarized this year because of the election. If Wikileaks had only released information on the Malaysian Prime Minister, for instance, I doubt that we'd be seeing the same kind of strong opinions about them.

[grandalf]

True. It's odd, though, because even if I did plan to vote for one of the major party candidates, I'd still want to know anything that shed light on corruption they were involved in, character flaws, etc.

It's odd to see people fighting to suppress information about the so-called "good guy" when in fact they ought to be considering why they would vote for someone who was involved in such things. Maybe most people just want to feel loved and protected by a powerful warlord.

To answer this honestly, I don't know. It would depend on the quality of the data he leaked, and which hostile foreign enemy he sided with against him.

On one hand, I have daughters, and don't want misogynistic defenders of rape-culture having any power over them.

On the other hand, I care about fairness and justice.

On my third hand (yay radiation!), Clinton is an evil sociopath who is bound to be largely ineffective as your president thanks to a republican legislature. Trump, however, is an incompetent demagogue who I think will cause a massive amount of un-needed suffering in this world.

So my honest answer is, I don't know. It probably depends on if I'd taken my meds that day and how emotional I was feeling.

I have daughters. Both main candidates have daughter(s). Which one is a "misogynistic defenders of rape-culture"? The angry seeming person, or the one that's been somewhat involved in denying rape accusations?
