    Yeah, just look at the DNC and Bernie. Clearly chosen by the voters and not at all manipulated by the party to get the result they wanted.

      You still believe the vote was rigged by the DNC after all these years? Holy shit.

        Do you have any idea how influential media is? When you have MSNBC and CNN plus various others talking about how Biden is the only viable option again and again and again, you can’t ignore the influence of that. He won South Carolina after the endorsement of a very popular and influential corporate Democrat there. The media along with the DNC saw that as the opportunity to rally around Biden. Everyone drops out and endorses him, and there you go. I’m oversimplifying a bit for the sake of brevity, obviously, but bottom line, Biden was chosen and supported to defeat Bernie because they couldn’t accept the possibility of a politician like Bernie winning. He was a threat to capital and he was extinguished from the race.

          Not to mention the DNC leaked information and ways to sabotage him (ex. Trying to use that he was Jewish against him$

          Name calling isn’t really in the spirit of this instance. You can argue and still be nice.

              I don’t care about your language, but I do care about how you interact with other users. Be civil.

          Superdelegates serve a valid purpose. If the Republican party had them we might not have been subjected to four years of Trump.

      unfortunately, he wasn’t chosen by voters when it came to actual primary votes.

        We’re you paying attention during the primaries? Everywhere pushed the narrative that he couldn’t beat Trump enough that people believed it and voted for Biden in the primaries.
