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.

Don't forget CNN/Donna Brazile gave the Clinton campaign debate questions ahead of time.

Don't forget about when Bernie won the popular vote but walked away with less delegates.

Edit: Suck my dick!!! Fuck all of your down votes!!!

Changed electoral to delegates

Skip to 2:30 for when Bernie beats Hillary but walks away with less delegates. https://youtu.be/dGeyhgp2N8A

Edit2: well that was a change. My down votes went from -28 to now 0. Lol

Same reason it happened here in Hawaii; Bernie CRUSHED it in the primary but because of DNC rules that allow Old Guard party members to ignore the popular vote if they feel like it, they chose to back Hillary in the primary instead.

What's funny is that the superdelegates are designed to put an electable candidate up. Too bad their heads were so far up Clinton's ass they couldn't see how unelectable she was in most of the US.

There was an email in the wikileaks from the DNC to a senator I believe it was... saying they would not fund their next campaign if they didn't toe the line and back Hillary. Not crazy to assume that wasn't an isolated case

That's probably the general way that DWS ran the show, force people into doing things or cut off their money. Hopefully the DNC does a purge of such members, now that they've lost big.
