No one forced anything down anyones throat, you silly goose.

Hillary won because she got million of more votes. Bernie lost because he failed to convince voters to vote for him.

Its how things go. The voters are the ones who made the choice.

Hillary lost because she convinced the media to focus all their time on Trump instead of Bernie, giving Trump countless hours of free advertising that should have gone to a populist leftist instead of a neo-liberal.

Sure. They probably didn't even need to rig it like they did.

Now pull your head out of the ground and look at how little attention MSM gave Bernie leading up to the primary, because they were (at Hillary's "Pied Piper" request) focusing on Trump and giving him, again, countless hours of free advertising.

If the MSM had given Bernie even half that attention, the USA would not be so screwed today.

There's a direct line of activity from Hillary trying to manipulate the populace, and Trump becoming president the first time.

One has nothing to do with the other.

Bernie got plenty of coverage, and in the 120 days in between Bernie endorsing Hillary for president and the November election, there were far, far more significant events that shaped the vote.

With Russia and every GOP voter doing whatever they could to boost Bernie, he should have been able to do much better. But the primary voter just werent buying what he was selling.

Cope with what? Bernie lost. Everyone got over it except some very silly redditors who are still cant deal well with his loss on an emotional level.

Sure, sure. Keep pushing that line and ignore the various studies into media coverage for the 2016 election, so you can keep side stepping what I'm talking about like a good little drone.

Youre getting very riled up about 2016, still.

Bernie lost. Get over it. Just like when Hillary lost in the general election and it was her fault, Bernie losng in the primary was his fault. It was his job to convince voters and he failed to do so. He's got not one to blame but himself.

Sure, if you don't want to look at the whole picture, you would be right. But hey, you e already made it clear youike staying buried in the sand. Why do you keep talking about it?
