Exactly. Wasn't about to vote for a dipshit like Trump, but she was being downright abusive to Democratic voters.
She promoted Trump with her "pied piper" strategy because she was so sure he would be the easiest to beat in the general election.
Then she won the popular vote but lost the Electoral College in a bunch of states she didn't campaign in and people on her campaign (including her own husband) had argued she needed to go do stump speeches in those states.
She absolutely thought it was "her turn" and that the DNC owed her for essentially bailing them out when they were broke.
In court, the DNC didn't even argue that they didn't put their finger on the scale for Clinton, they argued it was legal for them to do that because the DNC is a private club, which means they make their own rules, and if they break their own rules, the only people they have to answer to is themselves.
What's that old saying about if the facts aren't on your side, argue the law, if the law isn't on your side, argue the facts, and if neither is on your side pound the table and yell?
The DNC never tried to make the argument that they didn't put their finger on the scale for Hillary Clinton because they would have been found to have definitely done so during discovery proceedings.
The facts weren't on their side so they argued the law, which is that "We're a private club, so NYEAH. Go fuck yourself."
