    I’m a process believer. If you can’t get enough momentum to win primaries, you can’t expect to win the general. Bernie didn’t, it’s plain as that.

      I’m a process believer.

      Particularly the part of the process where the party doesn’t have to adhere to its own primary rules.

      Pretty hard to get momentum when your own party is undercutting you and playing unfairly, but go ahead and keep thinking everything was on the up and up

        You’re never going to convince these true believers that the DNC is corrupt, and regularly rigs the system in favor of neo-liberal candidates. They can’t admit they are suckers for the same kind of brand loyalty and fetishization of party that exists on the right.

        Big Bernie fan. I disagree on your wording. Bernie probably couldn’t draw enough people. Unfortunately the Democratic Party in collusion with Hillary’s campaign denied the people the right to vote in an impartial election, so it’s impossible to know.

        Hillary probably didn’t need to tamper with the election to win, but she did tamper with the election. Moreover in doing so she handed the presidency to the authoritarian toddler that she elevated as a pied piper. She’s directly responsible for Trump gaining power. She needs to stay the hell away from US politics, she’s done more than enough harm.

          Any evidence would be appreciated, otherwise it just feels like speculation or Russian propaganda(“DNC screwed Bernie, vote 3rd party or vote Trump to show DNC you disapprove of their actions”)

            Are you serious right now? You’ve never once bothered to look at the events of the 2016 primary, but you’re happy to call any disagreement propaganda?

            Literally all you have to do is Google “Clinton pied piper” and “Clinton primary tampering” and you’ll find countless articles talking about it.
