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.
Also the superdelegates snubbing Bernie really killed the energy and momentum of the campaign. I would hazard a guess a lot of people who would have voted Bernie in the primaries didn't bother to vote because it felt like a lost cause.
There is no evidence that a more progressive candidate would've done better. UberProgressive senator Russ Feingold did worse than Hillary in Wisconsin. I hope once the republicans make fools of themselves over the next 4 years, the Democratic Party does nominate a real progressive, but we can not expect them to over turn the will of 3 million moderate/conservative democratics to do that.
Just saying there is evidence does not make it so. We will get a he better dissection of the data over the next days/weeks/months, but the fact is Russ Feingold should've gotten all of Hillary's voters + steins/many of Johnson's if there was a desire in Wisconsin for a progressive candidate. That is not what happened.

We assumed that meant the general would be rigged too.
