They're playing you all. Trump and Killary both serve The Establishment. They're both psychopaths, and neither of them gives a fuck about your well-being, or the future of the country.
This DNC leak stuff is most likely just a psy-op, to divide & conquer you further. Every day there's more stuff.. more dramatic headlines, dramatic comments, more false flag shootings, more BLM/SJW madness, and so on.. and it's easy to get swept up in that if you're not acutely aware that everything is rigged.
Much of the "alt media" serves the establishment too, because people who are more clueful than average need to be divide & conquered too! That's where for example this DNC leak comes in.
Without constant distraction, you might get even more clueful and start causing some serious trouble for the powers that shouldn't be!

Trump might be rich & he might be an egomanic- but he's nowhere close to being the absolute horror cunt that Hillary is. Trump could drop kick me straight in the vagina on live TV & I would still vote for him before I would Hillary.

They're both sides of the same coin. Yes, Trump looks much better than Killary, but again, both serve the establishment just the same.
Your vote does not affect anything, and dropping a piece of paper into a box has no effect on what the politician can do once in office. It's not magic paper, after all.
In other words, politicians are 100% free to shaft you despite your wishes when voting for them. And wouldn't you know it, shaft us all they do!

This is exactly what you'd expect a mindless shill to spew
