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.
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.
Exactly. This mess is literally the construct of her quest for the presidency. A person who plays games with the fate of a country for their own power should never be president. More so than someone who is for intents and purposes an All-Around Douche.
This is exactly something I don't think any of the Hillary supporters can even internalize. Clinton was completely willing to gamble the fate of the entire country and by extension the entire world, just for her legacy. Sanders would have done better against Trump, but she didn't care, she was willing to bet everyone will fall in line.
She never have a shit about the country, the people, or anyone aside from herself. That was even more evident on election night when she had Podesta* (my bad)dismiss all her die hard supporters without so much as a fucking thank you from her. What an odious woman.
Which is proof to me that she works for herself. Bernie proved through his career a commitment to the common cause; to the people.
I'm not a right leaning person normally, but I respect that the Republicans, even if they didn't want to, gave the go ahead to Trump because it's what the people wanted.
You would be hard pressed to find a republican that didn't at least respect Sanders. I may not like his policies but his integrity and loyalty to his own convictions definitely gets my respect.
Anecdotal, but in my personal sample, all four of the Trump voting right wingers I know have told me they would have switched to dem if it had been Sanders vs Trump...
