The fact is the Dems should have let Bernie and Hillary go at it fair and square in 2016, which Bernie probably wins. And Bernie probably beats Trump in ‘16. The Democratic Party sometimes has very anti-democratic impulses.

Either that or Hillary would’ve fairly won the primary, in which case more Dems would’ve felt good about the process and she would’ve won the general. Either way, the DNC helped Trump win by suppressing the vote for Bernie.

That’s impossible and you’re insulting the choice of millions of Democratic voters - because you disagree? It’s harmful to our country’s chance of defeating fascists to keep dividing Democrats with conspiracy theories.

Yes! 2016 was when I unregistered from the Democratic party because I was so appalled. 2020 Warren lies about Bernie & other establishment Dems work to undercut Bernie in primary. It soured may people on the process. ZERO TRUST.

By actually rigging their own primary, Democrats enable Trump to use the rhetoric of the party cheating more broadly. It makes it easier for him to dispute the results of an election. People know Democrats rigged their primary, so why not the general?

If he was *cheated* in 2016, why didn't he run as an Independent in 2020?

It’s on the DNC, HRC & Wasserman Schultz. They gave us Trump. But Dems didn’t learn, & they’ll now give us the next dose of whatever’s worse
