Who cares? It's not hard to see why the DNC would prefer Hillary in the primary when Hillary has been a democrat for over 40 years and has contributed more to the Democratic Party in that timeframe than almost anyone, and has helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for democratic candidates and down ticket candidates, and has helped so many democrats get elected over the years, while Bernie only opportunistically became a democrat less than a year ago, and in the primary selfishly refused to campaign for or help raise money for any down ticket candidates if they didn't outright endorse him. And I mean, for god's sake, this is a man who, in 2011/2012 suggested that someone should run against and challenge Obama for the democratic nomination when he was the sitting President, and OUR President, who real democrats elected. A real, loyal democrat doesn't do something like that, especially when Obama was doing, and and is still doing, a great job especially in the face of unprecedented republican obstructionism. It's not rocket science, people.
Anyway - The election was not rigged. Bernie lost by more than 350 pledged delegates, and more than 3.5 million votes. The voters spoke and they said they wanted Hillary Clinton. It's as simple as that. He endorsed her, he lost. He had enough maturity to endorse her and is going to make sure that Trump gets nowhere near the White House. Nothing the DNC did or could have done could have swung the election in her favor by that much. She won, fair and square.
And it's not like Bernie had no shot at winning - Bernie had every chance to win, he came close to overtaking her in April, but he himself stumbled with a horrible NYDailyNews interview in which he revealed his very loose grasp on the issues and then his asinine assertion that Hillary was unqualified, which made him lose New York and that was the beginning of the end. If Bernie supporters had been more concerned with registering to vote and voting than they had been with being keyboard warriors, he could have, and would have, won. He/they did it to themselves, they have no one to blame but themselves for his loss. A study showed that Hillary actually had by far the most negative coverage of any candidate on either side of the aisle during the primaries. The media made Bernie actually have a shot at winning, all they ever said of him from February through May was that he was catching up to her and had a shot at winning, and that he had all the momentum. But he lost, and fairly.
