I remember the Hilary PUMA voters protesting Obama’s victory in 2008, but I don’t remember them saying it was rigged.

We’re years removed from 2016 and 2020, and yet both the far left and far right are accusing democrats of rigging elections. NOBODY cares about who dropped out and endorsed someone, or the media wanting one candidate over the other, or Dominion Voting Machines, or the fallacy that illegals are voting. It’s getting ridiculous, the people who vote are ADULTS who can think for themselves.

If anything, you could make an argument that the system was rigged against Hillary, she got more votes than Bernie, then went onto the general and got more votes than Trump, and didn’t become president. If this was vice versa, you’d never hear the end of it from the Bernie or Trump cults online.

    I remember the Hilary PUMA voters protesting Obama’s victory in 2008, but I don’t remember them saying it was rigged.

    Because for whatever reason Obama refused to seat his own DNC head, so the neoli erals maintained a death grip on the DNC.

    It’s still too early for Ken Martin to say which way he’ll go, but at best the neoliberals just lost control of the party.

    So that’s why they didn’t complain, Obama let them keep control of the party.

    And that’s why the left kept saying it was rigged, because it was.

    Any other questions?
