The family of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, who was killed in 2016, has filed a lawsuit against Fox News, an investigative reporter and one of the network's frequent guests over a story about Rich and allegations that he was involved in a conspiracy, according to the lawsuit.
In the suit, which was obtained by ABC News, Rich's parents, Joel and Mary Rich, claim that Fox News investigative reporter Malia Zimmerman and Fox News commenter Ed Butowsky reached out to the family under false pretenses to support stories that Seth Rich leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks.
"On May 16, a story was posted on the Fox News website on the investigation into the 2016 murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich," Fox News said in a statement at the time.
Hes saying this unironically as a TD poster, this is your mind on retarded conservative conspiracies you make up about mommy to make up for the abuse you get from daddy.
Yes, I, an /r/drama denizen, really believe that Wikileaks killed Seth Rich. And that Wikileaks killed him because he leaked DNC secrets to Hillary Clinton.
I find it interesting that Trump supporters hail this guy as a true patriotic hero who supported Bernie over Hillary while simultaneously accusing all leftists of being mentally disabled evil commies trying to destroy America and white people.
It's like they don't even realize that, even if Seth Rich did leak the emails, he would still despise Trump and his cult if he truly was full on pro-Bernie. It's actually kind of sad that this guy's legacy is basically being a folk hero within a political movement he probably would want nothing to do with. That's really adding insult to injury.
That's crazy. It seems to me like voting for Trump after being pro-Bernie indicates you really didn't have very strong progressive convictions. Unless you were placing your bets on accelerationism or something.
Unless you were placing your bets on some kind of accelerationism.
something like that. the general sentiment i hear is along the lines of "i didnt like him, but he wasnt promising more of the same, and i'd take anything over what we have now"
I originally supported him because I thought he ran with the same policies except his supporters weren't SJW CUCKS coming after muh vidja. I was politically retarded at the time, but now I have fully embraced r a d i c a l c e n t r i s m as my god
Or those people, like me, really, really, really, really fucking hate the Clintons. The decades of scandals, the rape apologia of Hillary, the pandering, and really just the attitude of entitlement that woman had during the campaign...I'd vote for anyone but her, but I still didn't vote for Trump.
Tbf I know some people who voted Trump because he was the worst possible option and they gave the whole "Americans need to suffer through the worst to get better" rationale.
Two surveys estimate that 12 percent of Sanders voters voted for Trump. A third survey suggests it was 6 percent.
First, the political scientist Brian Schaffner analyzed the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, which was conducted by YouGov and interviewed 64,600 Americans in October-November 2016. In that survey, Schaffner found that 12 percent of people who voted in the primary and reported voting for Sanders also voted in November and reported voting for Trump.
Schaffner examined only voters whose turnout in the primary and general election could be validated using voter file data. This excludes people who said they voted but actually did not — although it also excludes people who voted in caucuses or party-run primaries, for which validated turnout data are not as readily available.
McCain and Hillary were both sane and rational choices. It doesnt matter if Hillary primary voters switches to McCain, even is that caused Obama to lpse because there was nothing wrong with prefering McCain to Obama and Hillary to McCain.
Votung for Bernie or Trump in any capacity just proves ypure a retard.
Voting for one then the other proves you're a retard and a hypocrite and should kill yourself.
Im guessing you fall in one of the latter categories
A lot of regular people who just liked Bernie for legalised weed and free college did, yeah. Gonna take a wild guess and say that way less Democratic activists did though...
You can disagree with someone without despising them.
That attitude is the exact reason why politics has turned into such a shitshow. This whole fucking: "OMG, this person disagrees with me on politics, they must be a nazi and I must fight them!"
Let us wage a moral and political war against the billionaires and corporate leaders, on Wall Street and elsewhere, whose policies and greed are destroying the middle class of America.
If I were going to vote for a democratic socialist but then he dropped out of the race and I had the choice between a trust fund kid who said not paying taxes makes him smart, who was notorious for cheating his workers and investors or a civil rights lawyer who was fighting segregated housing while the trust fund kid ran segregated bousing and I picked the trust fund kid I'd say I probably didn't care about policies that much.

Seth Rich was killed by Wikileaks for exposing the DNC to Hillary Clinton. No lawsuit on Earth will make me think otherwise.

How does it not make sense?
People support a candidate. The DNC rigs primary against said candidate. People say "fuck you" to the DNC and vote for their competitor.

Because if you're a democratic socialist then voting for Trump makes no fucking sense at all outside of betting on some accelerationist shit.

more hillary voters in '08 voted McCain than Bernie voters voted Trump.
1 Karmaisforsuckers 2018-03-14
So?
1 arko_podu 2018-03-14
my point is that whenever a candidate loses a primary, some of those voters are bound to vote for the opposing party.
I'm sure that if Bernie had won the primary instead, a similarly sized chunk of Hillary voters might have voted for Trump.
1 Karmaisforsuckers 2018-03-14
