Wikileaks has published the entire (copyrighted) PDF of the Trump book. Unsurprisingly.
Actually I think that's quite surprising. They're supposed to be about secrets, classified government documents, news leaks, etc.
This is just sabotaging someone's product that was going to be available for all to buy.
They haven't been just that in a long time.
Assange is a garbage person and always has been.

I guess Wikileaks doesn't have a newly found republican bias ??*??*
??? I can’t tell if you’re confused or just trying to ironic?
??? Depends upon which part of the quote you're talking about.
Are you surprised, or do you not really think he’s in the GOPs corner?
My first comments were serious, but my last comment was sarcastic.
I'm genuinely surprised that they're leaking someone's private product. That's not what they do. They've got some anti-government "libertarian" schtick to them. This really isn't compatible.
And my comments finished by an eye roll because its obvious they picked a side a while ago.
Julian Assange doesn't need money... dude's probably rolling in bitcoin dough right now. He needs allies. Who better than the moron that is Orange Donnie?

So yes, they're doing it in an attempt to hurt sales... A poor one, since anyone who wants it already has it.Is there any proof that Wikileaks published this to "hurt the financial viability" of the book? And isn't it a little ridiculous getting worked up about it? The book is already all over torrent sites (and other such places) readily available to anyone who wants to get it that way. But some seem to have such a personal investment in the success of this book that it leaking, like a million other IP's, is somehow a blow against democracy. And if anything, it cuts both ways...by putting the book out there for free it just gives the message all the more circulation.
I also find is somewhat amusing that Assange and Wikileaks are now regarded as such an enemy by the left, given the latter's former enthusiastic embrace of both. Also interesting is that when Wikileaks was putting government secrets out there, that may have put lives and intelligence methods in jeopardy, they were regarded by heroes by many who are now criticising them. But once they dared hack the DNC...well THAT's unforgivable. So compromising US intelligence sources was fine, but compromise the Democratic party and it's treason.
The right's new love for Assange is equally hypocritical and embarrassing, and they'll come to regret their embrace of this low life as well. In fact watching the left and right swap positions on so many things over the past year reminds me of seeing a high school football team switch ends at halftime.
Because Trump didn't get voted in by the working class and the poor and rural voters. He got voted in by white people in the suburbs.are they? what evidence do we have that proves this assertion?
i'm not debating it's merits or worthiness, i am questioning that these are the kinds of things that will inspire millions of millions of non-voters to vote. furthermore, such sweeping changes might also inspire millions of non-voters to vote against these things as well.
why are we assuming that non-voters would be inspired by "tangible economic benefits" presented as free college or socialized medicine and not tax cuts and deregulation? what makes you certain that a non-voter wouldn't vote for conservative policies?
i don't want to rehash 2016, but one take away is that what i *do* think makes a difference is the quality of the candidate. i think we could argue that what Trump did do was inspire just enough non- or low-frequency rural white voters to make a difference in a slim number of swing states, just like Obama was able to outperform in rust belt cities amongst the young and minority voters.
The difference, obviously, is that the Corleone's never gave Fredo power. Trump's had it for 40 years.President Fredo

And nobody in here is going nuts over the leak, so don't know where you're getting that. But hey, go nuts.
As for WikiLeaks in general... Personally I never agreed with their methods, but yea, some did and now don't. Alas, a crucial correction - WikiLeaks did not hack the DNC. Russia hacked the DNC, and WikiLeaks was used as the vehicle to get the information out.
There's a major difference between acting as a whistleblower site and acting as am arm of the Putin intelligence machine.
I consider myself centre-left and I have always been staunchly of the belief that Assange is a criminal and that Wikileaks put lives in danger.
don't think this has been posted here yet but this does a pretty good job of debunking the "it was the poor white rednecks in dead coal mining towns that swung it for trump" view:

spoiler alert: as much as we want to pretend it was the uneducated yokels falling for blatant lies, it was pure white suburbanite racism. those weren't poor lower class rural folks marching through the streets of charlottesville with torches and murdering counter-protesters.

We, as a country, fully deserve a 2020 Presidential Election between a reality TV star and a talk show host.
