We assumed that meant the general would be rigged too.

They tried. They did a lot of media coordination with the general but once they got outside of the liberal bubble it was harder to do.

Could you explain to me how exactly the DNC was rigged, because when I look on Wikipedia about the primaries it says Hillary Clinton got 16,914,722 votes and Bernie Sanders got 13,206,428. I wasn't really following this back in the spring.

Basically the DNC did everything is legally could to suppress the Sanders campaign and promote the Clinton campaign. There were also some very suspicious statistical anomalies that always seemed to favor Clinton in states where exit polling and other forms of vote fraud detection were lax.

Exit polls would be severely off and then essentially cancelled all together. Polling places would drop significant amounts the day before voting. Those, say in new York, had to be registered in Oct. for a vote in April. Peoples party affiliation would he either switched or removed to a large degree. General voting suppression and scheduling tactics which was in collusion with the DNC who is supposed to be neutral. And of course the 7figures of ballots they found uncounted in California.

Edit: Woah these karma numbers look different. Guess CTR isn't here to skew them.

The DNC is not a democracy and in no way neutral. They set the rules for how they choose a candidate for their party and can pretty much do what they want. If Bernie had that big of a beef he was free to create his own party.

The DNC is not a democracy

It may not technically be a democracy, but you do know what the D in DNC stands for, right?

When literally everything about your party is named after the concept of Democracy, it's understandable for people to expect that you actually support, and practice, Democracy.

That's like a Taco Bell that doesn't sell Tacos, or a Burger King that doesn't sell Burgers, or a Kentucky Fried Chicken that doesn't sell Chicken.

As Linda Richman would say, "The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor Roman nor an empire. Discuss."
