I'll admit it's a bit of hyperbole but the amount of effort they put into shutting Bernie out left me with quite the sour taste.
He isn't in the DNC and they still include him in their presidential primaries, if anything it seems unfair how much preferential treatment he gets compared to other third parties.
They didn't include him out of kindness but because excluding him would alienate a huge part of their base. They publicly let him in and then behind the scenes made sure he wouldn't get far.
Recent events have shown clearly how much more public support Bernie is able to pull compared to those deluded old establishment types in the DNC. Schumer keeps yapping the same old platitudes while their numbers keep falling. Meanwhile Bernie's selling out stadiums even in red states.
He did get far. Millions of people voted for him, he won many districts, and then lost the primaries due to the fact that millions more people voted for Hillary and for Biden.
Yes, people ended up voting for Hillary and Biden after the DNC tipped the scales in favor of Biden and Hillary. Maybe the DNC should give him an equal opportunity.
So you admit it was a fair and democratic primary, that Hillary and Biden got more votes by huge margins?
I literally just described is as an unfair primary where the DNC had exert influence to get their candidates to win. If you are going to ignore what I wrote, I'm not going to waste my time with you
Keep on toeing that party line. It's doing wonders for the DNC.
Whats being anti-establishment doing for you? You enjoy having Trump?
