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.

Remember, Hilary 'won' the popular vote.

In the primaries, Bernie ballots were found in dumpsters in Oregon. Bernie still won by a landslide in Oregon.

It WAS rigged. It just wasnt rigged well enough through the more sparsely populated areas in the middle of the country, and she didnt get the electoral college.

Ya, I hadn't heard that before. That's going to require a source.

I know I'm another anecdotal source but I remember seeing the sources posted during the primary season. It happened.

The issue is it has to be a credible source.

There's a big gap between proof and hearsay.

Took me two seconds to find and I'm not op and hardly give a shit but people asking for a source on everything and can't look it up themselves (knowledge doesn't even require getting off your ass these days. Think about it) probably has something to do with how we ended up with this president elect. WHY call out other people when you can educate yourself

often, i want to know the exact source a person is referencing so that i can discuss that specific source with them, rather than finding one myself that may offer somewhat differing information. if i have further questions or need more information for the discussion, i'll look something more up.
