They set up at least some of the democratic debates on Saturday night, which is a poor night to expect people to sit at home and watch a debate. They made it harder for independents to vote on the election. There's evidence that Hillary was given questions prior to debates, when Bernie wasn't. The DNC did things that helped stifle Bernie. I consider the fact that he was never mathematically eliminated as being close to winning. Maybe you're right, and we do have different definitions of "almost lost/won", but the DNC was helping Hillary.
The fact is, Bernie has high favorables, and Hillary has high unfavorables. I don't see how her winning was a forgone conclusion, aside from the establishment being deeply corrupt.
They had TWO debates on Saturday Night. The second and third ones... back in November 2015. That includes the several forums they had as well btw.
Do you really think Hillary having advanced knowledge of the questions helped her change the mind of thousands of voters? Do you really?
The corporate media was never going to give Sanders much air time (though he did get plenty of time at most of the debates).
The DNC showed bias, but they didn't really affect the results. I donated to the Sanders campaign btw. And I'll donate to the Liz Warren campaign in 2020 if she chooses to run. But I'm not going to pretend like the DNC actually changed anything by their brazenly stupid show of bias. What's mind boggling about it all is that it was so unnecessary. Like Watergate.
