Bernie stans still trying to pretend it was rigged against him  He simply did not get enough delegates. I've never seen so much online uproar about a candidate that never translated to the polls.

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 not 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.

And considering the way Bernie personally attacked DWS (who, for the record, is terrible at her job), I'm not surprised she felt the way she did. As long as she didn't act in a way to obstruct then she can feel however she wants.

BINGO. This was all chatter and nothing more. I don't blame them for not liking a man who opened fire on their organization.

By May 21st, it was mathematically impossible for Bernie to secure the Democratic nomination and thus have a chance for the presidency.
So when Debbie Wasserman Schultz says "This is a silly story. He isn't going to be president," it's an expression of fact, not opinion.

Are you going to merge the OPs and show the emails that actually made controversy on social media instead of having people read the 20k?
Wait, who am I kidding, of course you wouldn't do that.

And thank God for that.
Though, without Bernie in the race for President, Trump will probably win.

People vote for Trump because he's transparent. He lets his intentions and motives known.
As for Hillary, we're kept in the dark and blindsided by this type of information. That's why people feel so justified voting for Trump. Cause they truly see it from their perspective as the lesser of two evils.
At this point the race has become such a disappointment and letdown from both parties and this is coming at such a pivotal time where we need unity, I'm surprised there hasn't been anarchy to overthrow this stupid system in the first place. This whole election feels like a joke. Even foreigners mock us. But people will stubbornly stomp their feet down and tell you this is how things are supposed to be played. Well people want a radical change, and if they weren't getting it with Bernie, then it's going to happen with Trump.

 Don't expect a response to these posts, the Bernouts and Trump Dumpsters who accommodate them thrive by assuming the role of perpetual victim.

Plus, the DNC is not beholden to voters.
If these Bernouts stop acting like entitled little brats and realize it's a private institution maneuvering for their own interests, the 'scandal' of this dries up.
It doesn't matter. The election wasn't rigged. Hillary had over 3.5 million more votes than him. The voters chose her as their democratically elected democratic nominee.

Leaks from the Democratic National Committee suggest heavy bias from party staff towards a major presidential candidate while ATRL members FLOCK into the related thread to discuss why that candidate lost the black vote.
Extraño.

The far-left spends more time whining and hash-tagging instead of voting and organizing. It's no wonder why they're accomplished at absolutely nothing except for losing elections. Sad!

These delusionals spend more and more time justifying their choices instead of picking better candidates. It's no wonder why the USA is in such a shithole. Sad!

If only the far-left actually voted and organized instead of hashtagging, their candidates would actually win. Instead they do their usual tumblr activism, stay home, and just moan about how they're more woke than everyone else.  As far as extremists go the Tea Party >>>>>>. Now that's a group that knew how to turn ideology into action and political clout.

If only people would be accountable and admit they're just as part of the problem maybe one day we'll be able to beat the system together.
Until then,
The Tea Party!
