For starters it was only a 70k vote differences between the electoral college win, so about anything small could have made a difference. The leaks itself were only small and didn't contain so much, but they were amplified with big dis-information campaign that surely must have depressed Democratic turnout to some degree. Especially the leaks focused on demotivating the former Bernie supporters, to support their (imo wrongly) narrative that the primaries were rigged against Bernie by the DNC. |

If there is even the tiniest wrong doing the US is an advanced country with a sophisticated infrastructure, legal process and rule of law to oversee fair elections.
Surely any hint of wrong doing should be pursued aggresively through the US courts than smear campaigns and innuendo in media that seek to cast apersions and undermine the very process and results of free and fair elections.
How do you propose to hold free and fair election or call for them now if any loser can now seek to delegitimise the results by pointing to 'propaganda' and 'hidden forces'? Because if your position is 'people can be misled by propaganda' then this position negates the basis of democratic elections.
This is against common sense, due process and rule of law. This 'burn the house down' strategy by losers cannot be accepted in any civilised society governed by law.
