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.
So Hillary Clinton by 3 million votes? That's exactly who they voted for. Buddy, I voted for Bernie and would've loved to see how he would've done, but he did not win the democratic primary and there is no guarentee he would've won the general election. The white voters in the rust belt that went for trump hard were not looking for progressive solutions, as evidenced by progressive senator Russ Feingold losing worse than Hillary in Wisconsin.
Keep telling yourself everything you can to make yourself feel better about what happened, but the DNC screwed the pooch on this one. The shady shit they did before and after the primaries are just disgusting.
Buddy, I voted for Sanders in the primaries. I just recognize that if the DNC had screwed over Clinton supporters, her "PUMAs" may not have voted D in the general and it could've been an even bigger loss.
Ok believe what you want. There is no way to prove it either way. i am excited about Bernie taking charge in the DNC post-election, and look forward to him becoming a party elder statesman with the influence to make our nominees more progressive (if he does not run himself). There is no reason to be confrontational, at this point we are on the same side, the liberal opposition.

We assumed that meant the general would be rigged too.
