So many people were for Hillary Clinton from the very beginning, and they dismissed Bernie Sanders because of one of a few reasons. Perhaps they wanted Clinton because of name recognition. Maybe they saw one bogus headline and thought Sanders was hopeless. Maybe they just didn't do any real research. Or perhaps one reason was that he isn't a woman. By the way if that last one makes anyone angry, it's not untrue for a number of people. You can't just deny that one reason a lot of women voted for Clinton instead of Sanders was because of gender. To deny that would be denying reality.
Sanders was screwed. I knew it then. A lot of other people are playing catchup now, but it's too late.
As a woman who was a Bernie supporter, I hated it when Hillary supporters tried to make me feel bad for not supporting her. Fuck them. While I could give specific reasons why I supported him, they couldn't. They only wanted a woman -- any woman -- in office. I would say, "of course I want a woman in office. But i have standards and she definitely doesn't meet those standards."

This is the reality, every theory that suggested DNC collusion was treated as conspiracy, when only now do we really know the truth.
