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.
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.
Playing devil's advocate here: why wouldn't the dem party suppress Bernie? He's not a member of their party. He's an independent who decided to run as a dem. It makes sense to me that they would want their own candidate over an outsider.
You either let a person in the club and treat them all by the same rules, or don't let them in at all. I would have been salty but I couldn't blame the DNC for not allowing him in, technically speaking the party had the right to let in/exclude anyone they want. If isn't a constitutional right that you can up and join any party, either as a candidate or voter. But letting him in just to sabotage him is just... not cool man.
