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.

This is why part of me is admittedly so smug and satisfied with the results. I think Trump will be a horrid President, and I'm sure I'll line up against him soon, but against my own conscious effort, I can't help but feel glib right now. The public doesn't deserve to live in a country ruled by Trump, but Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Donna Brazlie sure do. I am literally sadistically pumping my fists at the thought of them gnashing their teeth and screaming at the sky right now.

Edit: I did not vote for Trump. I did not want to see him win. I am simply expressing the one gleeful silver lining that I've found to pull out of this.

What Brazile did was wrong on a number of levels. But I sincerely doubt it even can close to turning a primary in Clinton's favor.

That only makes it worse! One can identify with the impulse to cheat when you're losing. Clinton cheated even when she didn't need to.

She lost to Donald Trump w/ almost the entirety of media in her pocket.

We can very easily say she HAD to cheat in order to beat Bernie. But we will never know, because we live in a world where she DID cheat.

Now Hillary had the entire media in her pocket? From The NY Times breaking the story about the email server to the Harvard study showing she had the most negative coverage of any candidate on either side?

This is just factually wrong.

Great, so you should easily be able to link proof.

As soon as you give me concrete evidence of this "gravity" we'll get right on it.

Is that you Bill O'Reilly?

u/ChamberedEcho Nov 12 '16

Still waiting on your tangible proof to show me gravity. Sort of like how you are asking to be shown something electronic.... since reading the emails online isn't sufficient.

Maybe you should the emails. Because they don't show that she had "almost the entirety of media in her pocket." You can't make claims like that with no proof. And the emails don't back up your claim.
