The DNC only have themselves to blame, wikileaks exposed their Pied Piper strategy -- they encouraged their media connections to elevate Trump before the playing field thinned out, they were so sure they could beat him [0]. As a Hillary voter, we were sure Trump was a joke. We didn't realize he had the DNC on his side. See the politico piece for quotes from wikileaks:

"How do we prevent Bush from bettering himself/how do we maximize Trump and others?" [1]

"We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to [take] them seriously." [2]

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted.

Is it a crime to subvert democracy? Apparently not when it’s your side doing it.

There were claims that Assange sat on Trumps mails, but genuinely I don’t think that’s the case and if it was then people likely would still vote for him as he is openly horrible: the emails proved Hilary was calculated.

Honestly if your biggest gripe with Assange is that he caused your person to lose then you have to ask yourself: did you just not want to know that your candidate was trying to subvert democracy?

The Sanders stuff was enough to put me off the DNC (actively hampering his chances of being a presidential candidate by removing him from ballots for instance), but learning that Hillary was the one with media contacts and pushing Cruz and Trump to be president is the ultimate backfire.

Should this man go to prison, for life, because your person didn’t get 4 years in office? Because of things she herself said?

The key question is: and?

Both parties do this. Pointing it out isn't whataboutism. Pointing it out is showing that Assange is the one who made political moves. He targeted specific politicians to leak negative information at opportune times. He didn't do this out of a sense of bringing the truth to light, he did this to further a political agenda. Where are his leaks on the republican party?

>Where are his leaks on the republican party?

Did you provide him with some leaks? As he can't publish what he doesn't have. Though there is some evidence that the same group that leaked the DNC emails had access to RNC data, there is no evidence that shows Assange had any knowledge of or access to RNC data.
