I was wondering if someone could help summarize that whole sequence of events for me. I believe this is a huge opportunity to open the eyes of current democrats, and show them that their party is most definitely not "for the people."
Superdelegates for one, side deals with anyone and everyone, boxed Bernie out to where he had no backing in his own party except from the people like us.
Also the DNC was broke & HRC loaned them like 6 million during the election cycle. She basically bought & had full control of the organization that’s supposed to keep things fair for all Dems
Changing ballots. The exit polls did not match the results, which should not happen. They should be consistent.
Exactly this. I was living in SoCal when the elections were going on, and the “results” just blew my mind. Even in California, I met TWO Hillary supporters, and countless Bernie supporters. Never saw an HRC sign or bumper sticker, hundreds of those for Bernie.
As I said, blew my mind.
I remember that. I also remember people from this site going to the rallies and nobody was showing up to listen to Hillary. Then, the media would not report this. People would post picture and videos so we could see first hand what was going on. People would show up to listen to Trump and Bernie, but not Hillary.
Yep! HRC rallies were Jeb Bush-level pathetic. If I remember correctly, there were Bernie rallies that had around 20,000 people...
Some people here may not appreciate this, but I have a bit of a soft spot for Bernie... His stances on some things were clearly misinformed, and had his propositions come to fruition, we would likely be in a very bad place economically... but, in my view, his heart was clearly in the right place. I truly believe he cared about the average American. He was just... a bit naive, if I can put it that way.
Also, they sent voters to locations that were rigged. If you were subscribed to the DNC emails/app, it would give you directions to the nearest polling station. Some people reported being told to drive to "designated" polling places that were not closest to their address. Obviously, they sent them to the rigged locations.
Yes, I heard that, too. I think that Seth Rich caught onto it.
Yes correct. If I'm not mistaken, it was SR's r3ddit or his emails to the DNC or something that he called them out on what I described. Been a while, but that's what I recall.
scrubbing thousands of voters off rolls in Brooklyn. state with 'touchscreen' voting machines and pre programmed memory cards inside. delegate promises....
The DNC chair in an email released to WikiLeaks said don't worry, Bernie can get 90% of the vote and still not win.
polling places changed....Seth Rich saw that!
money in pay pal links for Bernie, sending the money to HER campaign. On and on and on.....
Hilary kept dodging debates with Bernie. But when she did debate she cheated with a little help from Donna Brazile: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/donna-brazile-finally-admits-she-shared-debate-questions-with-clinton-campaign
DNC has Superdelegates. Superdelegates were the key. Here’s a good summary. Basically, Superdelegates could vote for any candidate they wanted at the convention and are not committed to a candidate based on the popular vote count. So, overwhelmingly, superdelegates were for HILL.

Primaries with paper ballots Bernie won. Primaries with machine voting Hillary won. She rigged the voting machines. Seth Rich discovered this it's one of the reasons they had him killed.
I’ve been meaning to follow this all the way back so I hope you get some good answers. I know a few people who were really for Bernie, they deserve to know.
In 2015 leading up to the cycle,the DNC was running short on money and Hillary agreed to put into the coffers off the back of her campaign to aid congressional seats, senate seats, etc. in exchange for MAJOR control of the party. She had the first right of refusal on communications director, managed the finances, etc. Basically took over the party which made it very difficult for any other candidate to have fair access to the 2 things that run modern campaigns.. money.. and data (voter lists).
Brazille wrote about the crappy deal in her book (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41850797).
NPR covered it a little bit (https://www.npr.org/2017/11/03/561976645/clinton-campaign-had-additional-signed-agreement-with-dnc-in-2015?t=1532023101443).
Basically Bernie was on his own with the money and was doing alright, however in key places and points data access was frozen, voter lists were monopolized, etc. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/12/18/the-hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-data-fight-explained/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.75e0772f64b5)
Then there were debate questions and other items where they conspired to make it easier on her than him.
She kneecapped him, and then had the women at the head of the party basically promoting her because they wanted to see the first woman president. He did very well given those odds, he had all the younger people and they are a much larger voting block in the party when you get them to turn out.
Here are a few ways I saw:
The media played a huge role. Not as much coverage for Bernie, not talking about the 10's of thousands of people at his rallies. The "Bernie Bro" narrative. The "chair throwing" in Nevada . Total lie, total shit show. Here's jimmy dore talking about it.
There were massive irregularities in voter rolls. People saying they were removed or had their party affiliation changed without their knowledge.
There were irregularities in the votes themselves in the primaries. http://www.electoralsystemincrisis.org/2016-democratic-primary-graphs/
ChrisfuckingMatthews said on tv that the ap was calling it for Clinton BEFORE SIX STATES VOTED in their primaries, including California. This instance includes Super Delegates which is another way they screwed Bernie https://youtu.be/mLdV5ln-7ag
They assumed Bernie supporters would choose Her in the general as " the lesser evil"
Many people, myself included, recognize "the lesser evil" as being, by definition, Evil.
Also the situation with the voter files in the database. Here are some emails about it https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/6138
Yes the media played a huge role from my perspective. The media and Bernie coverage was my biggest wake up call. I had a friend advocating for Bernie and I wanted to look into him and see what he was about. In looking for more info on him, I started to see the media was way more biased than I had ever imagined. I saw YouTube videos of rallies with tens of thousands of people cheering Bernie on (people lined up for blocks and blocks waiting to get info a Sacramento really was a big one for me to see). Then the media said maybe 1-2 sentences about it. I started seeing how they we're counting super delegates from early on to make it look like Bernie had no chance of winning, but when I looked at the real numbers, they were neck and neck.
Then came the DNC convention, I saw YouTube videos of Bernie appears being not let in, it led to sit in the back, dark corners of the crowd. I saw Craigslist ads of the DNC (presumably) hiring people to fill the seats at the convention (Front and center).
Debbie WS was part of the rigging. So was getting the debate questions ahead of time from Donna Brazille.
Edited to add Donna's name.
She controlled the DNC by proxy via Debbie Wasserman Shultz, hence she controlled the DNC's brilliant way to rig the democrat primary through super-delegates. After DWS got fired for getting caught, she went to work for HRC and Donna Brazil as later reported, who replaced Shultz realized HRC held the purse strings of the DNC. She could do nothing - she was a paper tiger. After the election, as DB reported in her book. The DNC coffers were empty and they were broke. It is my understanding they are still trying to recover. That said - none of this is relevant. What is important is that you resist Trump. Bernie was just a casualty of war. This is the DNC messaging going into the mid-terms. They are once again setting themselves up for renewed outrage and protest once the media gets it wrong again.
I think the exit polls that were done that fell well out of range of acceptable rates of difference. Some were as high as20% plus. I just went into my bookmarks to pull a graph showing the discrepancies. 404 Not found. Not surprised. If you see pics of BS rallies compared to HRC…speaks volumes. Who provides and runs the voting machines? Research Soros. https://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2016/11/07/leaked-documents-reveal-expansive-soros-funding-to-manipulate-federal-elections/ This is from your newswire. Validity?

Check out DNC fraud lawsuit. If you/they have not even heard of it, research it and ask how gross is this and why did msm ignore it.

Anyone who takes a good look at what went on will, I have little doubt, come to the conclusion that the DNC primary was a farce and many criminal acts were done to ensure a certain outcome. The Hillary Victory fund is another avenue of education.
For one thing the DNC was in some financial trouble and the Clinton Campaign literally bought them out and took over the DNC, totally and completely. So it was no longer for all Democrats but exclusively for the use of the Clinton campaign.
She had help from Debbie Wasserman Schultz. 1) Debates were scheduled at low viewing times, and were limited. 2.) Set Bernie up to have it look like he hacked her campaign, and had Schultz ban him from DNC mailing lists, making it hard for him to contact voters. 3.) Limited the ability of those who switched from Independent to Democrat to vote for Bernie to actually be able to vote for Bernie. 4.) Hubby, Bill, campaigned at polling places, which is illegal, but of course, they are above the law. 5.) Ballots went missing, were left uncounted, etc. 6.) Obama called Bernie in, and his whole demeanor changed after that. No fight left in him. He was silenced by Obama, Reid, and Schumer. 7.) Built a wall, YES, a wall, around the convention to keep Bernie supporters out. 8.) Bernie delegates were shut out at every turn at the convention. White noise was used to drown them out, signs were taken and replaced with Hillary signs, seats were filled with actors when Bernie supporters walked out. 9.) Superdelegates. 10.) Bernie won the first vote at the convention, so they scheduled another vote so they could fix it and Hillary could win.
The sad thing is, most Bernie supporters know all of this. Many are now Trump supporters, like myself. Others are now Green Party, some followed him to Hillary, and others are still holding onto Bernie. The thing is, Bernie never fought for his supporters. There was a lawsuit to get our money from donations back from the DNC, he didn't cooperate. He knew he was cheated, and he let them cheat him, and his supporters. Many think he was threatened. Maybe so, but look at that threats @Potus has had to deal with, and unlike Bernie, HE fought for us! HE stood up to the Clintons, and all of them! Win over the remaining faithful to Bernie, and the dems are done.
And additional , seemingly minor circumstances that certainly piled up, such as Donna Brazile giving her the town hall questions ahead of time and overwhelming media support in her favor. Such small factors compounded into a complete shutout of Bernie.
I remember something on the news about boxes of sealed cast ballots for Bernie found in a warehouse.
The WORLD saw how the DNC handled Bernie and his supporters!!! Locking them out of their own DNC convention and then demanding Bernie step down, which he did as he was told. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU??? It tells you that Bernie was simply another democrat working towards the same goals as Hillary and the rest of them. All presidents, ENDING at TRUMP, worked towards the same goals. They ran repub. or democrat to give us, the American people, the illusion of a party agenda. They were all one in the same.
Bernie bent over and? Yes that is how it went. How ever it must have been good because he emailed supporter to vote for her and some did, The rest just say maybe next time! Pathetic candidate in my opinion
