    That’s not how that works. The voters picked Hillary in 16 to run with the party nomination. The voters stuck with the incumbent, and when they dropped out due to health reasons the secondary stood in as is standard practice. If you’ve got an issue with it you should have fucking registered Dem and voted in the primaries like intelligent responsible civically engaged citizens do. Instead of bitching on the internet about shit you clearly don’t understand.

      You’re ignoring how the DNC used super delegates to sway the primary votes in 16. They also provided Clinton with the debate questions ahead of time. They did everything in their power to tip the scales toward Clinton. In 2020 they changed the primary order to favor Biden, discouraged people from running against him, and even considered cutting the primaries early. Again they did everything in their power to pick Biden. Then when Biden dropped, they had time to at least hold a vote at the convention, but instead they appointed Harris. Btw, I did vote in those primaries, I donated to the Sanders campaign too.

        Because Clinton was a member of the fucking party and Bernie wasn’t. Like holy shit, of course they didn’t want someone who isn’t actually part of the party to be the party nominee. What the fuck are you all smoking that everyone ignores the fact Bernie was never going to win the Democratic nomination because he wasn’t in the Democratic party. It’s not complicated shit.

          Lol, okay so you do understand that the process was rigged and resulted in bad candidates that lost. I accept your apology.

            He lost because he wasn’t a Democrat, why would Democrats vote for someone not in their party? If you wanted Bernie y’all should have registered and voted in the primary. There was no rigging, the lawsuits were dismissed, Bernie just overwhelmingly lost to Hillary because registered democratic party members voted overwhelmingly for Hillary. Bernie never stood a chance and the process was pretty well the same as it always was but idiots like you have a child’s understanding of political processes. Did you even know the DNC is straight up a private non public organization? Because that’s how political parties work.

              There was no rigging as long as you ignore the rigging that I already discussed. Just because you say these things doesn’t make them true.

                  The difference is, nobody has ever claimed I’m a genius because there isn’t evidence for it. Meanwhile there is evidence of the rigging.

                    What evidence? You can call it a ham sandwich but that won’t make it fucking so. It wasn’t rigging, it was standard dnc operating procedure. Lawsuits alleging rigging were dismissed as without cause because, and stay with me here, there wasn’t rigging.
