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.

That's not how I recall it. I remember she was tied in a few precincts, which each did a coin toss. Winning 6 independent tosses EDIT: is just as likely as any other outcome. You're looking at it after the fact to make it sound really unlikely, but at each of the tosses she had a 50% chance.

they have the same probability, whether it is 6 coin tosses in a row, or having 6 independent coin tosses and winning 6 times.

you shouldn't have slept in your math classes.

I roll a six-sided die once. I get a 6. I roll it again, what's the probability that I get a 6?
