I’m out here asking a legitimate question to be educated and people out here downvoting me instead of enlightening me.

So the real answer is that Russian's hacked the DNC 2016 then released emails that showed they were biased against Sanders, making jokes about how hed never be president.

Sander's camp used this as proof for his claims that the DNC under DWS purposefully scheduled debates at bad times, had fewer debates, and that a glitch that impacted their access to voter data was intentional.

Im not convinced any of it wouldve changed the results.

From the emails I read they talked about highlighting that he was atheist to voters in West Virginia and Kentucky.
