If the emails are genuine, they're genuine.
If they're not... that's pretty easy to show. Instead, the DNC has apologized for them. But yeah. I'm the one buying a narrative. We also have records of them, you know, doing the things that the emails say they did- like blocking Bernie from accessing voter rolls so he couldn't send mailers or otherwise contact them.
The leak wouldn't have been as impactful if they weren't, you know, actively undermining candidates in contradiction to their own convention's bylaws. But, yes, RuSsIaNs. it's all the rUsSiAnS fault.
Had they shown proof all it would have accomplished is have folks like you claiming the DNC faked them.
And yes, the Russians were behind the stolen emails of both DNC and RNC. Wonder why only the DNC was published by their propaganda front? The Russian source and their support for Mango Mussolini are both well documented. That you are trying to pretend otherwise fairly well condemns your PoV as entire fantasy. Nice try to further muddy the waters, shrub.
you don't offer apologies for remarks that are fake. then, there's that time that an MSNBC straight up accused them of rigging things before the leaks ever happened
or that time that Warren said she believed it was rigged, too
Like, there's plenty of shit there, and yes, there's probably some emails that were altered to make it look worse than it was.
But you're blatantly ignoring a simple fact that they did these things, and that if they had not done these things, it would be pretty simple to demonstrate otherwise. Instead the the leader of the DNC stepped down, and they issued apologies and continued on, fate acompli. The Russians didn't make them cheat. The Russians weren't even the first ones to go there.
all of which comes back to the broader discussion that biden is an objectively bad candidate, but he's the one democrats will put forward, and instead of doing something to attract voters who patently do not like biden, whine and bitch and moan about how it's their voter's fault.
Boomers gonna boom, I guess.
