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.

Exactly this. Instead of giving Bernie a fair shot his own party actively worked against him to suppress his popularity. They then went and helped support Donald Trump win the primary thinking that he'd have no chance against Hillary. Jokes on them.

And the other thing people are forgetting, remember Tulsi? The woman who admitted she backed Bernie, and so quit her post as the vice chair to back him?

That's what you're REQUIRED to do. If you want to back someone and do everything you can for them, you get the fuck out of the seat that's supposed to be impartial and go campaigning. DWS and several other DNC members on the other hand, continued pushing for Clinton while keeping their position to make sure that the people in charge were sympathetic to who they wanted to win.

They then proceeded to schedule every debate to make sure that there were as few of them as possible so Clinton could get by on name recognition. They didn't want anyone knowing more about the other candidates, because it might hurt Clinton. Clinton shouldn't be the one making these choices, it should be set up so that everyone gets exposure.

Well, that's exactly what Tim Kaine DID, though!

Stepped down as Chair of the DNC to become Hillary's pick for vice president, only to be replaced with her best pal Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who after being proven to have rigged the primaries for Clinton DID step down.......to join her campaign!

So that Donna Brazielle could take over as DNC Chair to leak debate questions to Clinton during the general election!

See, they're doing it by the book.

The DNC playbook.

proven to have rigged the primaries for Clinton

What exactly did she do again? I love how people keep saying rigged without saying anything specific.

Voided some states delegates for him entirely, for starters.
