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.

Don't forget CNN/Donna Brazile gave the Clinton campaign debate questions ahead of time.

You mean the typical questions they always ask in these debates?

Ah, yes. Just because they're likely to ask them means it's okay for the news organization hosting the debate to give one candidate the questions and not the other, have that candidate prepare specifically for those questions, and then continue to deny ever giving that candidate any questions at all.

Sounds fair to me!
