That's not voter suppression but you can feel free to call it that. Democratic leaning Independents have existed in every election.

I feel like we are talking about 2 different things here. The deadline to register as a democrat to be eligible to vote in the NY primaries was March 2015. Independents dont register their party affiliation, that's why they are independents... Bernie polled extremely well with independents, which is why the deadline affected him the most, and I'd say cost him the primary even. Now I don't know when the deadline was implemented or if it has never changed over the last 100 years, but I do know that having to register a year in advance is quite extreme when some states have same day registration.

And both of them played dirty in that election. Obama got almost as many delegates as she did in Michigan even though he wasn't even on the ballot. She won Florida and they stripped the state's rights to delegates. The entire ordeal with Howard Dean and the delegates and super delegates who pledged to Hillary but didn't vote as they pleased. The conspiracy theories at the time about the 2 Hillary delegates who died.
Let's not, Hillary backers had just as many reasons to act like babies if not more. Instead, 90% or more ended voting for Obama because it was the right thing to do and he was the better candidate. For Bernie backers, it's "I didn't get it my way so screw the world". Democracy in 2016.

Reaching. Obama may not have won they way y'all wanted him to, but he was not mudslinging throughout the race like Hillary was. He ran a clean campaign. The conspiracy theory of 2 dead delegates is just that, a "conspiracy theory". Hillary's conspiracy with the DNC has been exposed and proven on several accounts.
And again, Hillary and Bernie are polar opposites, Hillary and Obama are quite similar, hence why she was comfortable name dropping him 600 times throughout the primaries and promises to continue his legacy. So no you can't compare the supporters like that.
