Perhaps the DNC and Clinton should have considered that before they rigged the primaries.
As always, this is not a race between Clinton and Trump, this is a race between multiple candidates, all of whom have differences. A vote for a third party candidate is not necessarily a vote for Trump anymore than it is a vote for Clinton. I'm sick and tired of hearing Clinton supporters try and manipulate voters into voting for Clinton because she's not Trump. If people don't vote for Clinton, that is her own fault, and the fault of the DNC, not anyone else's.
No they did not. Do you know how many individuals in every state are involved in the voting process? Thousands, if not several thousand. Now, if it were so fucking "rigged" as you claim, then why would Bernie himself not say "fuck it, I am running third party".
He got several major rule changes and platform issues done. Primaries in BOTH parties are messy and words are always exchanged prior to the nomination within the same camps.
BERNIE was not wrong with his complaints, but it is absurd to call it a conspiracy, even backed off calling it rigged, but called it simply a bad set up. Of course people have their favorites in primaries. And even in the GOP there were words exchanged between Trump and Cruz and Bush. Yea it is fucking ugly sometimes. But still, I find it hypocritical to support Bernie, then not follow his lead at this point.
Nope sorry, the "rigged" system Bernie was talking about was not our progressive ideas as VOTERS, our common enemy is Trump and the GOP and the only thing our politicians, NOT VOTERS, can be accused of is 36 years of being forced by the GOP to play by their narrative.
