The real conspiracy is reaching the election day with only (and yes, I'm citing South Park but they got it right) a Big douche and a Turd sandwich as candidates with chances of becoming president.
Hell, there are near 320M other citizens in USA, how the hell did those blockheads get there instead?

That's a fair way to describe it. At the end of the day, it's a choice between two bad candidates.

The left using this to show that Wikileaks is against Hilliary, however is an issue as well.
WikiLeaks is admittedly against Clinton.
I love how every leaked email linked to Hillary must necessarily be a conspiracy perpetrated by Russian boogiemen who are supposedly best buddies with Trump. It's all a conspiracy, guys.
The email hacks were almost certainly directed by the Russian government. The motive isn't as substantiated, but there's a good chance it was to influence the presidential election.

While I don't think it demonstrates anything, Trump did appear to act in tandem with a Russian news outlet by reporting the false email story. I'm assuming coincidence and convergent idiocy, but you can see how conclusions can be drawn.

WikiLeaks has no strict political affiliation, the most you can say about the outlet is that it's anti-establishment. The fact that Hillary represents the establishment is coincidental.

I'm assuming coincidence, or he simply didn't know that some information might've been doctored, but he's far from an idiot. He saw a headline and used it accordingly.

He's not having a very good day. I would post more images, but I fear getting banned. Mods are deleting threads like crazy though, but thankfully 8chan never deletes anything.

It's funny, on my facebook I have people lumping wikileaks supporters with anti-hillary folk, which automatically means (to them) you're sexist, trump supporters.

This election is just bringing the bad out of a lot of people. So many sexist, "my team is better than your team", super conflating, double-think people. Even those who say sexism is terrible while saying something sexist in the same sentence. Otherwise solid people are just flushing their brain down the toilet out of feeeeelings. I don't care if you think very differently, just be able to express why you feel that way and be open to criticism of those positions.

We're all trying to figure out truth from fiction, try not to place personal meaning into assertions. It's okay to be wrong. I know I'm wrong allll the frikin' time, and I'm always happy to be corrected.

As a Libertarian Party Supporter I am constantly told by either Democrats or Republicans that I support one side or the other just because I hate both of them. Same with Bush and Obama. I just do not get why people think that dislike of one means you like the other.

We've been conditioned to partisanship by the system. If you're not on my team, you're on "the other" team.

Correct - people vote for banners now, not for representatives or policy. This is exactly the factor that differentiates Hillary and Trump supporters. Hillary supporters are voting "for the democratic nominee" while Trump supporters are very clearly voting for Trump as an individual, not the GOP.

Pretty much this. I hate both sides, but I like Trump. I would vote for him even if he ran under a different party.

Also, look who changed sides! Totally isn't hacked :P
