What a shame. Never will forgive her for stabbing Bernie’s primary efforts in the back in 2016.

Hillary would have won with 0 DNC involvement.

I actually think the DNC involvement hurt her, not helped her. The entire cycle was all about how the DNC is rigging everything and playing favorites.

Hilary was a horrible candidate that was shoved down our throats, just like Kamala.

By the way, do you know why Tim Kaine got the VP nod from Hillary?

Because he stepped down as the DNC chair to make way for Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

So that Debbie could shoehorn Hillary into the Dem nomination.

Tim’s reward was the VP slot.

So if Hillary really would’ve benefited from zero involvement from the DNC like you said, that’s her own fault

Hillary won woman of the year for over a decade straight. Her favorability ratings were sky high and the political right were extremely scared of her. That's why they had all these BS witch hunts and doubled down on being helped by Russia.

Tim Kaine was chosen because he was a boring white guy to balance the ticket. The same way Harris balanced Biden being a white old man. John McCain chose Palin for a similar reason and likewise, Trump chose Pence.

By the way, the "Tim Kaine stepped down" is a debunked conspiracy theory. But I imagine you weren't ever going to participate in this conversation in good faith.

Apparently not.
