Lol not "traditional democratic voters"; the die-hards who saw, and continue to see, Trump as a messiah as he insults anyone from Gold Star parents, to disabled journalists, to Mexican immigrants...
Anyway, off topic and deplorably exhausting.
In the end, Assange is just a scapegoat. Although, he wouldn't be the first or the last. When WikiLeaks was being used to disclose information about other countries, US citizens and even the Government saw them as a positive force in the world. But, once the info focused on US affairs, especially around a Presidential election, Assange was public enemy number one (tied with Snowden).
- andrepd 5y agoStill very much (1) a tactical mistake and (2) not everyone of the 60 million people who voted for trump fits your description. Working class people fucked over by the establishment voted for the "anti-establishment" candidate, surprise surprise.
- whoaisme 5y agoPlenty of working class people didn't feel the need to vote for a piece of shit like Trump and the cry about the economy to excuse their own stupidity. Hilary Clinton was absolutely right - if you voted for Donald Trump you're a deplorable piece of shit. The fact that there happens to be 10s of millions of them doesn't change that.
- ILMostro7 5y agoAgain, that speech was made early in the campaign. Obviously not talking about 60mil people. But, definitely didn't help, especially once pundits pounced on it.
