    So you think they should have ignored the will of the Democrat voters to prop up another candidate who probably would have lost even worse?

        Clinton absolutely crushed sanders. I’m not sure what you believe reality looks like. But if it ain’t that, then you should probably look elsewhere for that insult.

          Looks like a lot of people don’t agree with your gaslighting.

          Clinton did not “cRuSh sAnDerS”

          The DNC (Debbie Wasserman Schultz), Barbara Boxer, Donna Brazile and others) did.

          Also the nefarious “counting and reporting” on sUpeRdELeGaTes before their votes had even been cast— thus trying to manipulate the public. It really left a very foul taste and I remember it well.

            This is like going onto The_Donald and pointing out that he is a convicted rapist, and a fraud who tried to steal an election. . .and when inevitably when you get tons of downvotes someone saying “Looks like a lot of people don’t agree with your gaslighting.” lol

            Clinton did not “cRuSh sAnDerS”

            She won by 12 percentage points in the popular vote. Removing super delegates, she won 57% of the delegates.

            It was never in doubt. She was the overwhelming favorite, right from the start. This didn’t stop me from holding out hope, BTW.

            You might be upset with how it was run (or how it was reported? Which is funny because the media made it look like Sanders had a much better chance than he had. Remember, an actual race is more interesting than a blowout), but the simple fact is that Clinton was just a far more popular candidate than Sanders. Neither us thinks it should be the case, but that’s the general democrat voter. It’s time to move on and accept the facts, instead of posting in alternating caps as if that makes the facts go away.

                You are rejecting the facts. What you are doing is showing what people do when they are dealing with the cognitive dissonance of pretending that Republicans are dumb for ignoring the evidence and believing the election was fraudulent, while trying to simultaneously ignoring the evidence that the 2016 nomination was rigged and that Clinton didn’t crush Sanders.

                But, don’t worry, just like Trump supporters, you’re too far gone at this point and thus are impenetrable to facts. So I don’t expect you to come around. I’m just posting this so any other person who comes along will realize that your position doesn’t come from a place of rational thought.

                  any intellectually honest user who reads this thread can only conclude that the nomination was rigged.

                    “The election was rigged!”

                    Who do we all know that also says this when they lose?

                  *your version

                  There is documentary video evidence of what Barbara Boxer did.

                  Stop gaslighting.

                Because someone posts factual information you disagree with- it does not become gaslighting just because you want it to.

                Look up what gaslighting means. Then stop using it incorrectly in debates. It makes you look foolish.

                The person you’re arguing with is not wrong. And that’s not an opinion. It’s factual information that reality supports.

      Agreed. Forget the primary, which I do believe was tilted for Clinton, Sanders would have been smashed flat in the general election.
