      I voted for Bernie twice in the primaries and the Hillary and Biden in the presidential election.

      The young people didn’t turn out to vote for Bernie. They would post support in social media but then didn’t vote. It was very disappointing because Bernie would have been a great progressive president.

          We voted. Democrats didn’t tell me not to vote for Bernie and even if they did, I would still vote for Bernie, and did.

          He didn’t get enough votes to win either primary. I voted for Bernie on both.

              The 2016 DNC primaries were not rigged. We all voted for who we wanted. I went out and voted for Bernie. The DNC did want Clinton to win the primaries and she had friends and plenty of money and backers to run. Bernie had money from people like me and me telling people why to vote for Bernie. Hillary was more famous and more of a front runner so she did get more attention. But Bernie had a great message and grassroots support. But all that comes down to votes. Bernie didn’t get enough to win the primaries.

              I don’t know what you mean by “keeping people off the registry”. Everyone who was legal to register could and could vote.

              Here is a Vox news article on it if you want to read more.

              Was the Democratic primary rigged?

                  I said that Hillary had many people supporting her, she had lots of campaign money, the DNC wanted her to win, she had many famous friends that supported her, but that doesn’t mean the DNC primary was rigged. No votes were changed and people could vote for who they wanted.

                  It like saying the election was rigged because my opponent was more popular and had more people vote for them.

                  Hillary wasn’t my choice for the primaries, but I did vote for her in the election to try to save the supreme court from going right wing. And Hillary got more votes than Donald Trump (about 3 million more) and didn’t call the election rigged. Trump did even after he won.
