POTUS Election thread

[Husar]

His campaign results prove otherwise. Clearly he managed to get plenty of people to come out for him despite the supposed bias.

You can't know what would have happened had Clinton not been handled as the sure winner by almost everyone from the beginning. It is entirely possible that people voted for her thinking she has the better chances anyway who would actually prefer Sanders otherwise. What I'm saying is there is no proof either way.

Also there is the 2008 situation when superdelegates switched from Hillary to Obama when they were convinced that he was the stronger candidate in the end. So its not set in stone, Bernie has had over a year to convince the superdelegates that he is the stronger candidate. But he hasnt, and he is behind by almost 3 million popular votes. Not because things were rigged against him, but because he successfully alienated minority voters which are crucial for victory. No reason that the supers shouldnt declare who they think is the better candidate off the bat.

All of America is rigged against a socialist, no need to try to convince me that nothing is rigged.

Its one thing to stay in and advocate your positions in an attempt to change the party platform. Its another thing to stay in, cry about how the DNC is unfair because he is losing, and keep driving wedges within the party. Thats why people are mad. Not that hes advocating for certain policies, but that hes saying its all corrupt and the only reason he is losing is because of how corrupt things are. Oh and lets not forget the harassment of Democrat officials and superdelegates which Bernie refuses to take responsibility for despite him saying that Trump was responsible for the actions of his supporters. Bernie's advisers have come out saying that they have the blinders on and do not care what harm they might do to Hillary in the process. In private he is telling Democrats that he knows he lost. But in public he says the opposite. At a rally last week, the chant "Bernie or bust" went up and Bernie said nothing to hush them or say anything that would make people think he would really support Clinton in the general. That is why so many people are angry at him and are calling on him to at least be honest about his chances to his supporters.

Yeah, well, the Trump presidency will be interesting...
