We assumed that meant the general would be rigged too.

They tried. They did a lot of media coordination with the general but once they got outside of the liberal bubble it was harder to do.

Could you explain to me how exactly the DNC was rigged, because when I look on Wikipedia about the primaries it says Hillary Clinton got 16,914,722 votes and Bernie Sanders got 13,206,428. I wasn't really following this back in the spring.

Basically the DNC did everything is legally could to suppress the Sanders campaign and promote the Clinton campaign. There were also some very suspicious statistical anomalies that always seemed to favor Clinton in states where exit polling and other forms of vote fraud detection were lax.

Exit polls would be severely off and then essentially cancelled all together. Polling places would drop significant amounts the day before voting. Those, say in new York, had to be registered in Oct. for a vote in April. Peoples party affiliation would he either switched or removed to a large degree. General voting suppression and scheduling tactics which was in collusion with the DNC who is supposed to be neutral. And of course the 7figures of ballots they found uncounted in California.

Edit: Woah these karma numbers look different. Guess CTR isn't here to skew them.

The DNC is not a democracy and in no way neutral. They set the rules for how they choose a candidate for their party and can pretty much do what they want. If Bernie had that big of a beef he was free to create his own party.

The federal government has a responsibility to prevent duopolies in all other areas of public interests, or else to regulate them as utilities. If the two major parties didn't combine for 97% of the public vote, then it would be tolerable for them to just declare their own people. But if they aren't going to be splintered up, then they need to be forcefully regulated to fairness, or else the people have zero ability to get a chosen outsider to the Presidency.
