This is how Trump won in the first place, wikileaks published emails of Hilary's campaign doing this. Instead of critisizing her for being responsible for Trump, democrats blamed Russia and attecked Wikileaks as Russian spies, literally called for shooting the messenger.
This is a prime example of why voting for lesser evil is not a tactic in politics and the whole liberal ideology as whole that we just need to vote for right people, instead of removing powerful positions in government in the first place.
- The wikileaks thing is highly suspect, though. Like, wikileaks intentionally disclosed a lot of publicly damaging dirt on Clinton and the Dems at a very sensitive time in the election while not releasing ANYTHING on the GOP, even though they supposedly had that information.
  
  I mean Hilary had been personally, as Secretary of State, responsible for Julian's persecution for years and years, it's no surprise he would have had a grunge against her, with good reasons. It's also highly likely no one from the Dems side thought WikiLeaks was a good avenue for leaks because of it, and so no material was submitted. It's not really suspect, it's just logical.
  
  There is nothing suspect about wikileaks, blueAnon just needs to learn to take responsibility for their actions
  
  Would you evaluate the contents of the wikileaks leaks if they had released an equal amount of dirt on Trump?
  
  lol this comment is a great example of a lib grasping for a weak explanation instead of criticizing Hillary Clinton.

This is what first past the post does to a country.
- Countries without FPTP aren't exempt from any of this problem. Australia and Japan for example use different voting systems, and far-right governments and parties are and have been on the rise there also.
  
  That’s not what this meme is about though.

If you have two potential opponents, a slightly crazy one and a really crazy one, and you think you're more likely to be able to beat the really crazy one then it's a calculated risk to try and help the really crazy one beat the slightly crazy one for you. Your gamble doesn't pay off if suddenly the really crazy one beats you though.
- Not only that, the article states that they’ve only succeeded 4 out of 13 times getting the really crazy one nominated. So they’re playing with fire and wasting millions.
  
  And if the four times they succeeded, how many times did they lose to the crazy opponent?
- Which one is the slightly crazy one, would that be the one that's conducting a literal genocide right now?
  
  First of all, define "conducting", second of all, you cannot seriously tell me you believe that Trump, if elected, will stop funneling arms to Gaza

They've always been pretty open about supporting extremist nutjobs in swing districts, because extremist nutjobs do terribly in general elections in swing districts.

  Bad source.
  
  dismissing information based on mediabiasfactcheck is the height of idiocy, here's another source for you https://www.npr.org/2022/11/11/1135878576/the-democrats-strategy-of-boosting-far-right-candidates-seems-to-have-worked

Coke and Pepsi game. Everyone does this.
China's intelligence community is closer friends with America's intelligence community than either of their own population.

  Intelligence communities are closer friends with each other than their own people.
  Since you have so much free time go find the list of people imprisoned by either country, executed by either country and killed either directly or indirectly by these countries. You'll see what I'm saying.
  They have a better chance of making money one way than another, that's always what all of this is about. Money.
  Intelligence communities are better friends with each other than their own people.

This is some next-level fucked up man-behind-the-man-behind-the-curtain conspiracy bullshit.
- It's literally a documented fact.
  
  Has anyone reported on it aside from a self-proclaimed conservative news outlet?
  Edit: Just found NPR reporting on it
  That doesn’t change that this planet can’t burn up soon enough.
  
  Nice to see you truthful once in awhile. Many don't believe that the US/Russia/China are backing far right around the world despite the fact
