    Try telling that to someone who supported Bernie, but before you do that you might want to go back and refresh youself on what happened. The DNC is a diseased carcass, change isn’t possible.

      Before I consider this complaint, I need you to go back, and get the primary results from the 2016 DNC primary and post them here.

      I know what the results are, but I need to know that you know before we discuss further.

        Do you really think the vote results of a corrupt election somehow make that election not corrupt? How are we still having this stupid ass argument in 2026?

        I guess Putin really does have 88% support in Russia. That’s what the vote says after all, so it must be true.

          Are you saying that Bernie got more votes in the primary than Hillary, and the DNC manipulated the votes to make Hillary win?

            No, I’m saying the election itself was corrupted in order to feed the victory to Hillary. Superdelegates, DNC-run smear campaigns, election rigging by limiting debates to reduce the visibility of the outsider. Accusations of sexism simply for not supporting the candidate with a vagina.

            Manipulating votes is not the only way to rig an election, you can do a lot just by manipulating the voters themselves. The DNC admitted to this, they didn’t have to run a fair election. So stop pretending the end result of a blatantly corrupt process justifies the process.
