You can think of it like nepotism in the DNC. Bernie was the more electable candidate. The candidate the liberals and the left preferred. They went with Hillary anyway and they underestimated Trump's electability in the actual presidential race. Essentially giving Trump the presidency in 2016.
You can watch all of their surprised Pikachu faces during Hillary's concession speech. They had a huge glass ceiling they were going to shatter all of this stuff. And it all fizzled out.
From what I understand, the DNC made a Faustian deal with the Clinton Foundation. They were in debt up to their eyeballs during the Obama Administration and the Clinton Foundation offered to pay off their debts in exchange for making Hillary the nominee and replacing key DNC staff with Clinton Foundation personnel.
You can tell they're telling the truth because they didn't mention how the vote tallies have Hillary beating Bernie by an even wider margin than she beat Trump by in the popular vote.
Figures the people still moaning about Bernie losing twice now would think other people voting is the DNC putting in a fix, these loons have actually said that votes shouldn't count and we should have counted individual donations instead. Because if anything says democratic process, it's a literal donor class literally buying the candidate they want over the candidate who got more votes.
Honestly I was in jail when all of that happened so the news I got about it was the misinformation that was originally leaked by the media. Misinformation that came from somebody that worked at the DNC and was backed up by Elizabeth Warren..
And you could have corrected the narrative without being a total fucking dick about it like you just did.
Instead I looked it up and educated myself. And you came out looking like an asshole.
Yeah how dare I be an ass about a fight I've been having with fucking children since 2016 over their shock and awe that having other plans on primary day doesn't win your preferred candidate the nomination.
You aren't owed being corrected gently when you step into a fight that's been going on for almost a decade now.
You didn't try to correct me at all.
You shamed me and acted like I wasn't even there.
Go read your comment.
I'm talking to you now. You tried to publicly shame me because I didn't know something?
Because I was misinformed by the media?
Because I've been in jail and didn't have the same access to information that you did?
I was speaking in good faith based on information that as far as I knew was true. You're the first person that has ever pointed that out to me and if you would have done it in a gentler manner you would have won somebody to your side and made a friend instead of somebody that's going to tell you to go fuck yourself
