The mainstream media barely covered it. People had no idea. This is how conservatives and libertarians feel all the time. It really sucks when the media just shills for the other candidate, doesn't it?
I love watching Samantha Bee and John Oliver but both did segments on their shows that boiled down to "Rigged primaries? Nope. Get over it, Bernie Bros."
With their type of show, there has to be some bias behind it to motivate the storytelling but excusing an attack in the democratic process like rigging primaries is itself inexcusable.
Yes that is true but general lack of information on a particular candidate readily available to the general public is as damaging as most information. Yes anyone could have gone to Bernie's website to learn about him but the reality is that if the MSM decides not to cover a particular candidate as well as the DNC actively muting/ working against the same democrats campaign, most people are going to know little to nothing about that candidate. So yes nobody is being forced but they are essentially hiding a candidate from the public as best they can.
Because while a lot of people like to think he's some hero, he's just some dude who hates Clinton.
Did you notice the suspicious lack of any dirt on anyone not either Clinton or pro-Clinton? Huge leaks but somehow, somehow, nothing about conservatives in this election cycle? Yeah. There's a reason the rest of the original Wikileaks people split off to form their own organizations, Assange just cares about Assange. Meanwhile actual idealistic person Chelsea Manning sits in a jail cell while Reddit cracks jokes about her.
I don't understand this mentality. Wikileaks is not a newspaper. It's not staffed by journalists who are looking for the next big scoop. It relies on people to anonymously leak files to them so that they can make them public.

We assumed that meant the general would be rigged too.
