Do the Dems rig their own primaries?

How does a guy win all 50 counties in a primary and still lose? Clinton got 35% of the Dem vote yet "won" the primary.

Interesting party rules they have.

Def a lot of the uppity DNC's did not wan't Bernie running.. Bought the socialist BS fear mongering lock stock and barrel.. No real 'secret' there... Hopefully they learnt their lesson by now..

Thanks to the prog caucus both he & Warren are 'up there' and won't shut up about their agenda..

Notice he ignores all the Republican crossover votes in that primary by people that voted Bernie in the primary with the intention of voting Trump in the general. State that elects Joe Manchin to the Senate isn't actually seriously supporting Bernie, bro.

The God-like all powerful Democrats strike again. They are so good, not a single shred of evidence is ever found.

Bernie propped up Cuba and got creamed as a result. This country is far more comfortable with Fascism than Socialism; Trump has shown us that.

Listen to this guy, still mad I wouldn't endorse Biden.

I posted facts, your girl lost the WV primary to Bernie Sanders, yet the "Democratic" Party gave the election to her. I'm not mad, just pointing out the hypocrisy; and it's the reason a lot of people don't trust your party. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news chief.

Save the baby talk for nuke.

This guy wants us to believe that the Democratic voters of WVA are some kind of progressives that wanted Bernie when they are the ones that have given us such wonderful people like Robert Byrd and Joe Manchin.

Then they weren't going to support ANY Democrat Scrom. At least Bernie was speaking to the real world conditions of people struggling to survive in a declining extraction economy.

At any rate, the party can do what it wants to, but "truth in advertising" should prevent them from calling it "democratic".

The neolibs like Biden, Obama, Pelosi, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton etc. abuse the shit out of the progressive left like Lucy pulling the football out from under Charlie Brown and the left keeps coming back for more every time.

The neolibs promise the left the world and then they don't give them any of it? Why? Because the progressive left keeps voting for neolibs. The neolibs know that they have the progressive left's vote regardless, so they treat them like whores.

If there is a bright spot for the progressives, I guess it would be that the ways in which the neolibs are cheating reeks of desperation and they wouldn't have to do it if they weren't really scared that their power isn't what it once was. I look at the way Pelosi placates The Squad like a group of people being trapped in a room with a bear. You can be the nicest person in the room to the bear but that just means you are going to be eaten last.

Oh, the delegates and super delegates thing. Yeah, that's some electoral college level bull shit. But, would Bernie have won the primary on a national level anyway, if it was solely based on a popular vote?

And, following the adoption of new party rules in 2018, superdelegates may no longer vote on the first ballot at a contested convention.

In 2016 Sanders won every county in WV, but the Party used "unpledged" delegates to give the state to Clinton.

The counterpoint from Scom is an NBC News report that some Sanders voters intended to vote for Trump in the general election, and that's being used as justification for the party to manipulate the outcome.

It's old news, just popped up in the video on my Twitter feed and reminded me why I don't belong to the Dem Party.

Russki living in the past. You don't matter bro. You live in a red state which probably makes you happy since your closet crush Qrump is revered here. I don't give a fuck about Bernie. He's done. Two time reject by the Democrats all of us obviously know something you don't. He's shit of a person. Anyone can see that.

Russki so qotard he's whining about election fraud. West Virginia? Whoa that's nothing...

Essentially true but you're incorrect in terms of what they promise, it sure as hell isn't "the world". Even then, those promises disappear as soon as the dust settles. Oh they'll always pay some lip service, suggest that the priorities of the donor class are addressed first and then we'll get back to healthcare and education "later"; or it's "too much, too soon.... baby steps".

Bernie is a sitting US Senator at this very minute, and without his help your party can't wipe it's own ass. What's your girl Hilldog doing today?

Oh the independent socialist from the state with less people than brevard county? (Look it up). Whoa he's a douche!

Slightly interesting is how Russki shows the misogynist tendencies of the Bernie bro bros with his hating on a woman. Yucky

By the by qreep, Hillary has a novel out and the Clinton Foundation is still helping people.

I've got to hand it to Bernie, he still helps the Dems out knowing full well they've fucked him before and they'll probably fuck him again.

It's almost like he's willing to put up with that shit in order to actually make a real difference in people's lives, instead of having books ghost written and laundering money though a "foundation".

I like Bernie, but as President, he'd have no better luck getting progressive policies through congressional roadblocks than Biden or Hillary. Remember when Obama started his term fighting for a public option, but the ACA was negotiated down to not much more than another corporate handout to the insurance industry? Have to do the legwork of getting public opinion on our side and cleaning up corruption first. That's a long way off and seems more likely we keep sliding to far right as they're far better at brainwashing the public and buying elections.
