Not a downvoter, but I'll bite. If someone insists on using sarcasm when talking about an issue people find important, they will almost always be downvoted unless they use an /s tag. This is because Poe's law is heavily abused in certain settings to disrupt conversations by starting irrelevant arguments. It can also be used play both sides of the field by fitting to a non-committal hive-mind consensus, that doesn't actually support either side of the argument.
And all that comes from someone's decision not to press an extra two keys before they communicate. Using /s tags seem like a good return on investment to me.
As I side note, really don't like Hanlon's razor. Far too many politicians get away with things because they play stupid. Their first line of defense in PR is always their friends being quiet, and the opposition calling them idiots.
hillary/obama knows who did it and has someone ready to do them if they decide to email wikilinks. This is nothing more than 'conspiracy to murder' lock em up until it is all sorted out!
The only way you're getting out alive after mentioning anything marginally to do with the Clintons is pulling a Snowden, and making it so your death causes an international incident. If he did it, the guy's a martyr.

Remember the rule. Any headline with a question mark can be answered with a no.

I think you're thinking of Hanlon's Razor.

"the most simple explanation for an event is usually the correct one"
Hey! That's Occam's Razor :)

Nope. It's way more believable that the Russians are colluding with Trump to get him elected by hacking those emails.

It's funny because anyone who lets a TV suck the life out of them somewhat believes this narrative.

Its not murder. Its "suicide"

I have no problem believing Seth Rich was murdered for his involvement with the DNC.
In fact, at this point, I think it's more plausible than him just being straight up murdered for no apparent reason.
Edit: added second sentence
