Seems like a fear-mongering advertisement with no relevant context on it's own. Wikileaks has a political agenda of it's own, so you still have to take their commentary with a grain of salt. It's particularly ironic that they use climate change as an example, what with Trump being a huge climate change denier.

Yeah, HRC has some issues, but I have no doubt that a Trump presidency leads to a lot of social setback as a country, which is a true shame given the progress women, minorities, and the lgbt community have made over the last several decades.

Asking people to read something is fear-mongering? We have sunk low indeed.

No, their particular way of asking without actually pointing me at concrete information to look at is the issue. It's trying to get a rise out of you to visit their site. It's an advertisement.

I disagree. If Wikileaks is fear-mongering there's a good reason for doing it. And as it says, Wikileaks has done a lot more for journalism than the top news agency have done in a century. I would not trust the mainstream media's propaganda of anit-women, anit-imigrant trump ticket.

I mean, I only have to trust the words coming out of Trump's mouth to see that part of his ticket.

I feel there are multiple parts to a human personality.
