By that I mean that all you see in the media is but a spectacle.
Did Wikileaks achieve anything else but raising the degree of angst and learned helplessness in mere mortals of this world? Maybe there occurred a revolution somewhere against the entities whose corpus delicti was leaked? Any supreme moron convicted? Anything positively changed in the global state of affairs?
Nope, all it did is communicate the message about how both utterly corrupted and invulnerable those entities are, and everyone trying to expose their crimes is doomed, like the character of Assange.
In simple words: Wikileaks == controlled opposition.
Hillary and the DNC also worked to undermine Sanders, though he had far, far better polling vs Trump than Hillary did.
At that time, Hillary was the second most disliked politician in the country. Only Trump was lower. Bernie was the most liked. By a lot.
So again - the second-most hated politician in America worked with the DNC to attack the most popular politician, while making sure that Trump got as much attention as possible...
...And you blame Wikileaks for Trump winning. You really see no problem with this?
I said it had a hand in it, I didn't say it was the only cause, or even the biggest or most relevant one. Assange backed the wrong horse, here, but I wouldn't credit him for carrying it on his back, all by himself, all the way down the racetrack. That's too big a job for any one man.
I also can't say much about her campaign was done well, for that and other reasons. But oh, boy, did we not need hindsight to foresee what a disaster the Trump presidency was going to be. He delivered exactly what he promised.
