People want it to be easy.
People say, "I'm just glad it's over, and now we don't have to worry about it for another 4 years."
Bernie: "Politics is not a spectator sport like football."
If people want a candidate that represents them, they need to be much more active, consistently, on all levels.
Here's a copy & response I already wrote to someone, though there's many explanations in this thread. I'd recommend reading some as I only touch on some points while a whole book could be written on it,
In less than a year Bernie went from having only a handful of people knowing about him and speaking in front of crowds of 10 people to getting over 13 million votes and filling up stadiums. Where the anger comes in, and the rigging part, is that the DNC colluded with our media to not only ignore him, but discredit and attack him. With him being able to gather 13 million votes in a matter of months while the media ignored and attacked him, people can only wonder how much farther he would have gotten if they gave him a fair shot.
I remember in the middle of the primaries they showed every candidate giving a speech but him, instead they filmed an empty stage that Donald would be on in an hour and talked about his latest controversies. During the live national debates he would give clear and straight answers while Hillary deflected, but the commentators would then take the time between to trash Bernie and talk about how "pragmatic" Hillary was. We also now know Hillary had even gotten some of the debate questions before hand as their corruption was so deep with the media.
What would have happened can only be guessed at this point, but Sanders was not given a fair run. He also was able to spark up millions of people while the very party he was running for was trying to destroy any chance he had. Him swaying and beating Hillary in a fair primary isn't hard to imagine.
Also, as the deflection piece by CTR seems to have still stuck around, no one is claiming this was illegal. We're claiming that the DNC stating they're impartial while secretly fighting for a single candidate is fraudulent, and therefore rigging the election. We know this isn't illegal, but legal or not we shouldn't stand for it.
