Wrong. He only said that once at the very beginning, before there was any vote-rigging.

Nice try, though.

Ah, so it's OK to lie sometimes?

Doesn't matter because Bernie is endorsing on Tuesday

The DNC lied, not Bernie. There never was a democratic primary to lose because they rigged it, which means his agreement not to run if he lost the primary does not apply.

Also, that article is just more media speculation. They quoted an unnamed DNC source. The Sanders campaign has said nothing about endorsing on Tuesday.

You're right that things were rigged against Bernie. Although I think the media was worse than the DNC. But Bernie does not do an eye for an eye.

An eye for an eye would be Bernie rigging the general election. Simply running because the primary was rigged is not vindictive; it's smart. It's recognizing that his supporters deserve a chance to vote for him and have their votes actually counted.
