Why do both people love conspiracies, while denying oppression that is in plain sight? [View all]

it is funny how people love hidden conspiracies so much more than they love oppression that is in plain sight. There was no voter fraud or election fraud this cycle, but there was massive voter suppression of the black vote.

This was the first election post the striking down of the voting rights act.

We need contribute to real issues and spend our time fixing real things. Giving Jill Stein money is not helpful and further bolsters GOP talking points that there is election/voter fraud.
