          The DAY after he won those primaries EVERY media outlet had the same anti-communism anti-socialism anti Bearnie message read by a talking head at least 6 times each.

          I was not a Bearnie voter, but damn that scared the fuck out of me. It truly showed how lost the democracy was.

          YOU wanted Bernie, you and your little bubble of like minded people.

          MORE PEOPLE wanted Clinton. And Biden. They’re centrists for a reason.

          You were outvoted. Stop with your conspiracy theory bullshit.

        The polling place where I was during Bernie’s first primary was turning away people with provisional ballots, telling them they weren’t allowed to vote with those in a primary. They were allowed, it was just that the vast majority of provisional ballot holders were Bernie voters who were voting for the first time because there was finally someone they felt excited to vote for.

        I raised a fuss and Karened my way to getting the director on the phone and demanded that she tell the supervisors that they needed to allow the voters to vote. I said that this was a huge problem and had obviously been happening all day. She said “Were you there all day to see it? No? Then there is nothing you can do about it!”

        Also there is the part where the DNC’s defense in court (when they were sued for taking donations from Bernie supporters who believed they were unbiased) was “We were so obviously biased that anyone who didn’t notice was not paying attention, we gave no illusion of fairness. Also, the rule that says we have to be unbiased is our own rule, not a law and we can break our own rules if we want to!” And they won.

        Party primaries are under no legal obligation to be fair and thr DNC are pretty open about changing policies to rig the outcomes of their primaries.
