The Republican party got remade because trumpists showed up and outvoted the party elites. No reason it can't happen for the Left except for laziness and apathy.
If all the progressives furious about the state of affairs now had shown up for Sanders in 2016, I doubt we'd be in this hellish timeline. Sadly, he needed the young progressive vote to show up.
Did the DNC stop anyone from voting? There was nothing to stop us from outvoting the establishment. "Oh no, the moderators liked Clinton!" The RNC tried way harder with trump and failed.
Are we not as capable as goddamn republicans?
Do you understand how superdelegates work? they're not assigned by vote.
As well, the Bernie campaign was blocked from accessing the voter rolls because they reported a bug to the DNC that allowed them to view stuff the clinton campaign was doing. They did not exploit it, they just reported it.
Also, did you read that hacked/leaked memo where the DNC chair admitted to intentionally sabotaging Bernie's campaign? no one has ever contested the contents of that memo. in fact the DNC chair resigned over it. (and you're an idiot if you think Hilary wasn't pressuring the DNC chair to do just that. Hilary always has someone else to throw under her campaign bus.)
You do realize the super delegates never came into play right? I mean I'm sure they would have if they needed them to but it never got that far.
You do realize they actually did right?
