Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm a process believer. If you can't get enough momentum to win primaries, you can't expect to win the general. Bernie didn't, it's plain as that.
Particularly the part of the process where the party doesn't have to adhere to its own primary rules.
Pretty hard to get momentum when your own party is undercutting you and playing unfairly, but go ahead and keep thinking everything was on the up and up
You're never going to convince these true believers that the DNC is corrupt, and regularly rigs the system in favor of neo-liberal candidates. They can't admit they are suckers for the same kind of brand loyalty and fetishization of party that exists on the right.
Bernie is an Independent. It's not his party.
Which process? The one where Debbie Wasserman Schultz puts her thumb on the scale for Hillary's benefit?
Big Bernie fan. I agree with you, Bernie couldn't draw enough people sadly.
Big Bernie fan. I disagree on your wording. Bernie probably couldn't draw enough people. Unfortunately the Democratic Party in collusion with Hillary's campaign denied the people the right to vote in an impartial election, so it's impossible to know.
Hillary probably didn't need to tamper with the election to win, but she did tamper with the election. Moreover in doing so she handed the presidency to the authoritarian toddler that she elevated as a pied piper. She's directly responsible for Trump gaining power. She needs to stay the hell away from US politics, she's done more than enough harm.
Any evidence would be appreciated, otherwise it just feels like speculation or Russian propaganda("DNC screwed Bernie, vote 3rd party or vote Trump to show DNC you disapprove of their actions")
Are you serious right now? You've never once bothered to look at the events of the 2016 primary, but you're happy to call any disagreement propaganda?
Literally all you have to do is Google "Clinton pied piper" and "Clinton primary tampering" and you'll find countless articles talking about it.
