I think what a lot of Bernie supporters don't understand is that Hillary supporters understand what you are saying. And the collective response is "duh".
Why should it surprise anyone that the establishment is more supportive of a candidate who has been a democrat most her life and done so much for the party over the last decades than a candidate who just decided last year to join the party after being an independent all this time. Some within the party might even feel he is an opportunist.
What Bernie supporters also have to understand, and I don't think a lot of them do, is that the democratic national committee is a PRIVATE organization and therefore can run on the rules that it wishes to. So many people who are crying foul about superdelegates are missing the point. That is how the DNC chooses to run it's organization, and Bernie Sanders knew the rules going in and chose to run as a democrat instead as an independent. He and his advisers miscalculated. Why is that on Hillary?
Cry as foul as you want.
Everyone has the right to run for president, but PRIVATE organizations also have the right to run their parties (and primaries) the way they choose to.
Is that fair? Well that's up to the eye of the beholder.
But what is certainly is NOT, is corrupt. They are following the guidelines and rules that were put in place before Bernie and that will be in place after him.
just to answer basic questions about his campaign and still support him.
poor things
