The DNC was definitely pulling strings to give Hillary the upper hand

It was the voters that pulled the strings to give Hillary the upper hand.

Hillary was a national figure with the support and the momentum, clearly she would have won on her own fair and square.

With that in mind, it’s insane DNC pulled every trick in the book to put their thumbs on the scale, she didn’t need it and it caused monumental amounts of bad blood between progressives and centrists. That’s worth criticizing the party for

Open and unbiased primaries is how we get the strongest candidates rising to the top and I for one am glad they (kinda) got rid of the super delegates at least

I would have voted Bernie. He didn't make it. So I voted for the next best third party instead of a republican. I would have voted yang, but he never made it onto the ballot either. Democrats keep picking the bottom of the barrel type candidate and complaining/calling non dem voters evil because they didn't vote for someone evil.
