sites, which we find out now were probably Russian made for the most part.

But even if they weren't. Why wasn't the DNC fighting to get those websites down before the election? (Edit) It was pointed out that you can't take another person's website down. However you can stick up a bunch of Dem websites with the truth on them so they can at least compete with the fake ones!

I already wrote a post about it. You could type in something that was flase and find 4 Google pages of websites repeating the same thing. They caught on to our, "cite your source" thing. So they just made up a bunch of different sources and people thought, "Oh well, everything seems to be saying the same thing so it must be true"

Did the DNC not notice this and if they did why did they leave everything until after the election. Even FB said, after the election, that they would take the fake news sources out. WHY didn't the Democrats fight against this bullshit before the election?

I know that Trump probably won't be made president. But from what I hear these electors might vote for some other republican and then it goes to congress. And the fucking congress elections were stolen too so where does that leave us?

All I am saying is these things should be identified and fought before election day!
