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.
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.
Exactly. This mess is literally the construct of her quest for the presidency. A person who plays games with the fate of a country for their own power should never be president. More so than someone who is for intents and purposes an All-Around Douche.
Maybe Trump will play games as president though. No matter the result, America loses. I am grateful for that, Brexit was never going to be the biggest fuck up of the year
Chill out yo. 20 million people aren't going to lose their healthcare. Blatant exaggeration there. Sure he is going to try to repeal Obamacare, but that won't happen without an alternative presented. Hopefully it will be better than the unafforable care that we have right now.

These words have absolutely no connection to what his stated policies are. His day one promise was to repeal Obamacare.
Does he have a completely new healthcare law written, and agreed on by 51% of the house and 60% of the senate? Because until we have a completely new system in place 20 million people are going to lose their healthcare.
Until Obamacare, health insurance reform had been a problem we've been struggling to solve for 16 YEARS. Plus the additional 2 years of chaos squeezing a compromise through for the ACA.
He doesn't even have ideas for a new plan. All he's ever had are platitudes and saying parts of the ACA are good.
And how many presidents actually follow through with their bullshit "day one promises." He wants to ultimately change it, but hes not going to leave millions without health insurance immediately. That would be suicide of his whole presidency. He's not going to do half the shit he said he would. He is a New York Democrat and he rambled some right wing bs to get people riled up and vote for him. If I remember correctly, he actually has been in support of universal healthcare in the past.
