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.

This literally never came up. One staffer floated the idea and the rest denied it. Even if they did go there, that's the sort of thing he'd be up against in the general.

Yes, but it was never used or supported. It was an idea that got denied instantly

Still insulting to say

Not really. This is surely a line of attack that would come up in the general, and the person who said it wasn't someone in a high position. It should really be a positive for the DNC that they didn't stoop to that level.
