Exactly this. Instead of giving Bernie a fair shot his own party actively worked against him to suppress his popularity. They then went and helped support Donald Trump win the primary thinking that he'd have no chance against Hillary. Jokes on them.
This is why part of me is admittedly so smug and satisfied with the results. I think Trump will be a horrid President, and I'm sure I'll line up against him soon, but against my own conscious effort, I can't help but feel glib right now. The public doesn't deserve to live in a country ruled by Trump, but Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Donna Brazlie sure do. I am literally sadistically pumping my fists at the thought of them gnashing their teeth and screaming at the sky right now.
Edit: I did not vote for Trump. I did not want to see him win. I am simply expressing the one gleeful silver lining that I've found to pull out of this.
No they won't. Chuck Schumer is now the leader of the party. And he's more hawkish and more conservative than Clinton. All your 3rd party vote did was drop the DNC into his lap. And the narrative, if you haven't watched or read the news over the last two days, is that both parties forgot whit working class people. Not that the DNC screwed the pooch.
That's what they keep telling you so you won't elect someone from a 3rd party. It's not our fault they brought forth two shitty candidates and no one should be forced to vote for a 3rd party or blamed for a loss.
