First I have to repeat that I trust Wikileaks far more then I trust the US intelligence agencies, their purpose is to serve the deep state they are not nor have they ever been, there to serve the people.
And thou art right that emotions are very important in decision making, but I reject thy claim that relying on them are entirely irrational.
In order to, in a traditional sense, make a “rational judgment” we need complete information. It requires that the decision in question are very simple, such as picking the cheapest version of an identical product; but politics are never simple.
And when it comes to complex decisions it is impossible to get complete information and it is therefore irrational to try and make a “rational judgment” feelings and intuitions are a better guide to what is the best cause of action.
The leaks revealed critical details about Hillary’s character, they were important to bring up then, because it was the only way to stop her. The will of the people had been subverted already in the primaries.
Hillary was not the popular choice on the left; that was Bernie Sanders. She won only though a combination of manipulations, threats and use of the anti-democratic super-delegates that she had captured before the election even began.
The story that it was an inside leak, possibly from a Bernie or bust democrat, that was furious about the corruption, makes much more logical sense, then that it should have come from an uninvolved third party.
I know thou art bitter, bitter over the fact that a crony old women, didn’t sell as well as a charismatic black man like Obama, or a professional showman like Trump.
Bernie would have had a chance, but that was because he was burning with conviction, he was real; his public opinion wasn’t completely dependent on the latest polls and completely detached from his secret true opinions. He said what he meant. Some of it was wise, a lot of it was dumb, but all of it was sincere, and above all else that is what people want: sincerity.
The leaks exposed her true character, her complete insincerity, and that is really all that people needed to know.
