Surprise Surprise Surprise! The Fix Was In!

[A Theist]

No. Not really surprising at all that Hillary and the DNC rigged the election against Bernie Sanders. Donna Brazille's new book reveals all about Hillary and the DNC rigging the primaries against Bernie and Hillary's attempt to take control of the DNC.

You always single-source your stuff?

And consider which single source is quoted. Nobody cares what Faux news reports.

Yeah - that's a surprise.  The democratic party preferred a democrat.

And the republicunts preferred a fucking retard and they had a wide field to pick from!

Meh, there were indications prior, old news, not unexpected. 

I do note that she/they kept it within the US political system. Can the same be said for Trump/Pubs? My take, we don't know for sure....... yet. Seeing definite signs leaning towards no. 

Um.... What's, we should care about what Fox reports, just not blindly believe. The same can probably be said for most news sources these days.

Despite the source, I think you'll find that many Bernie supporter suspected/were aware of this already.

Hence many refused to vote for Clinton and that's another likely reason Trump got in.

No point bitching about the result now, as many are doing anyway, but this definitely needs to be investigated, and make sure such things never happen again and to do the best to minimise the damage the current regime, I mean administration, does while in power.

It's on cnn.com as well. The actual source is Donna Brazile. Not exactly a partisan out to get Hillary.

It's pretty easy to check if others had reported on the same topic. FOX wasn't the only news source to report on it. Both Politico and CNN reported the same thing.

Yeah, for Bernie voters like me, this is old, not-fake news. Definitely frustrating but not the top of my concerns at the moment because Mrs. Clinton lost the election and now we're stuck with a blathering idiot in charge. And now that there is definitive evidence of Russian meddling in the election, I'm not convinced Bernie would have won either against Putin Trump.

Also, I still voted for Mrs. Clinton in the general election even though I wanted Bernie. And I came home and stuck an "I Voted" sticker on an old framed photo of my grandma, who was born before women were permitted to vote in the US.

When you rely on a FOX story they leave out little bits of info......

Brazile’s most serious allegations centered on the stipulations in the Clinton campaign’s joint fundraising agreement with the DNC, an August 2015 deal that allowed the campaign to combine its fundraising efforts with the broader Democratic apparatus.

The existence of the agreement is not new — news outlets reported on both Clinton and Sanders signing the agreements with the DNC back in 2015. Only Clinton chose to fundraise through that partnership, which opened her campaign up to allegations last year that money raised to benefit state parties was being used in ways that benefited her campaign.

Frankly, this makes Sanders look like a fucking amateur.
