[@maymac2012]

Take one citizen's experience as an example. In 2016 presidential election season, I was so busy with my own life, so I didn't pay much attention to it and didn't even vote. But, I remember vividly wherever I turned I felt very strange why Hillary was so negatively perceived to a extent she was a villain. I felt strange because she was not attacked for her policies or as a politician but she was a villain. Then, I watched my hometown (Taipei Taiwan) talkshow program on youtube. I was surprised one of the pundits had such a negative impression about Hillary (her tone made me feel she meant Hillary was a villain.) At that time, I realized the far-reaching Internet can make someone so far away and so irrelevant have such a negative feeling about someone who the pundit didn't know at all. So I have always felt the sentiment and the result of this election must be manipulated and affected by a powerful force. It was not the election--even though I didn't engage much--as all previous elections I had experienced since living in US for 30 years

Cambridge didn't tell Hillary not to campaign in Wisconsin or Pennsylvania, nor did they tell her to vote for the Iraq war. Nor did they tell her to support bank deregulation, or support the removal of democratically elected presidents in Honduras and the Ukraine.
