    And we have evidence that Sanders lost by 8M votes. Called an election. Move on. Or I guess keep denying the agency of millions of voters because your first baby crush candidate lost.

      An excellent example of bias. Thanks!Sanders was 2M votes down when he withdrew, not 8M.

      Biden was shown with Buttigieg’s, Klobuchar’s and bloomberg’s delegates, artificially increasing his lead.

      Bloomberg didn’t meet the criteria to be present on the ballot, but the DNC ignored that because his delegate were earmarked for Biden.

      And the media were unable to report without bias and misrepresentation

        Excellent example of several meritless conspiracy theories and sour grapes.

        Which state ballot do you believe Bloomberg did not qualify for?

              Trying to erect another straw man by inventing a claim?

              The point was that the DNC again rewrote it’s rules for it’s own purposes.

                Bro you are the one who literally just invented a claim and rolled it back when you got called out.

                As far as the DNC rewriting its rules, surely you know that they significantly reworked the rules from 2016 to 2020 based on feedback from the Sanders campaign, significantly reducing the power of the superdelegates.

                  I corrected a detail. I rolled back nothing. The DNC bent rules to favor Bloomberg.

                  The DNC is undemocratic. The primaries are just for show.

                  significantly reducing the power of the superdelegates.

                  Still 16% of the delegates, and they still get added to the DNC choice candidate when reporting caucus results, unfairly swaying opinion.

                    So again, then how did a no-name junior Senator beat a heavily favored Clinton in the primary, even before they changed the rules (rules everyone knows)?

                    Admit it, you just don’t like the rules because your guy lost.
