Please give a yes or no answer, and any reasoning you have. I made this topic because I was thinking of the Russian interference in the 2016 election. When I first heard about it I was shocked that the USA would let their guard down and let one of their major political parties get hacked... but then I read the contents of the DNC emails, and realized that maybe it was a good thing that the corruption within the DNC got exposed. The chair of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, slanted everything in Clinton's favor from the beginning (she was her former campaign manager... no idea how no one saw that as a conflict of interest) and broke the party's own rules. Everyone who supported Bernie was so outraged at her that she resigned before the convention. I still can't believe that Obama himself had to call her and tell her to step down. Let's also not forget the other cheating that took place, including Donna Brazile feeding Hillary secret debate questions from CNN that she wasn't supposed to give her.

All in all, I think that it was a good thing that the information came out, despite the consequences for the election. I personally would rather the people find out that their leaders are attempting to rig the election rather than let them get away with it. That's just me though; what are your opinions?

Of course.

Who would want to be willfully blind to that?

But that's what the mainstream media told me... they said Russia hacked the DNC and then gave the emails to Wikileaks.
