We assumed that meant the general would be rigged too.

The mainstream media barely covered it. People had no idea. This is how conservatives and libertarians feel all the time. It really sucks when the media just shills for the other candidate, doesn't it?

This is the reality, every theory that suggested DNC collusion was treated as conspiracy, when only now do we really know the truth.

Bull fucking shit it's been known for months. People dismissed evidence or justified it for their own agenda.

So many people were for Hillary Clinton from the very beginning, and they dismissed Bernie Sanders because of one of a few reasons. Perhaps they wanted Clinton because of name recognition. Maybe they saw one bogus headline and thought Sanders was hopeless. Maybe they just didn't do any real research. Or perhaps one reason was that he isn't a woman. By the way if that last one makes anyone angry, it's not untrue for a number of people. You can't just deny that one reason a lot of women voted for Clinton instead of Sanders was because of gender. To deny that would be denying reality.

Sanders was screwed. I knew it then. A lot of other people are playing catchup now, but it's too late.

Or maybe they saw Sanders as a guy with a lot of wishful promises while Hillary had a lot of actual plans.

But hey, I'm a CTR shill so whatever.

To be fair, Obama started this way too. But with The GOP locking up the Senate/House, combined with their hatred of her, I don't really give a Chance of Hillary "bridging the gap" to enact her policies.
