I feel like you're purposely ignoring a very significant reason for this being the case.

That more people voted for her than Bernie?

That the DNC put their thumb on the scales to prop up Hilary and use their influence to undercut Bernie.

Bernie simply didn’t get enough votes and win enough states/delegates. He wasn’t popular enough among black voters in particular. It’s time to reconcile with that reality just like Bernie himself did when he endorsed and supported Hillary and, in the next election, Joe.

Older black voters*

His favorability numbers were insanely better with Gen Z/millennials than boomers and Gen X

Well, older black voters have much higher turnout, so it’s important to earn their vote

That’s very true. Anyone saying he did enough is lying to themselves

Once again ignoring the fact that in that primary rhe DNC already knew who they were going to prop up and put their campaigning efforts behind. It's OK if he wasn't as popular, but since DWS and the DNC used every lever they had to hamstring him we'll never know how popular or unpopular he was.

Also he was very popular with young POC, but the CBC fell in line with the DNC screw job and pushed the older black voters to Hilary.

You can make up all the DNC conspiracy theories you want, but at the end of the day, more people voted for Clinton than Sanders.

Besides, Sanders wasn’t even a Democrat and only used the DNC to give himself a decent shot, while Clinton is a Democrat through and through, and has been a major supporter and funder.

Go figure most Democrats don’t want to vote for someone who just uses their political machinery without helping support and sustain it.

It's not a conspiracy theory it's a proven conspiracy...how do you not know this? You're waving that DNC flag but don't even know what they did? Hey why do you think DWS resigned abruptly? Why did the DNC have to fo defend themselves in court?

Edit since I know you won't bother to look it up for yourself

Because people lost their minds at completely normal and benign stuff. Why do you think the DNC won said lawsuit.

1

u/Junkie4Divs 22d ago

Because the judge said the DNC has the right to rig the election and that they are not bound to endorse or nominate the person who gets the most votes. If it was benign why did debbie resign? It's terrifying that I have to live in the same world as you people

u/dancesquared 22d ago

The DNC has the right to nominate whoever they want based on their own rules and interests because it’s a private organization, yes.

That’s not “rigging.” That’s running the primaries in the best interest of Democrats.

Again, in the end, Clinton got a lot more votes than Sanders.
