People pushing the myth SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #11

Well if what you say if true, go to those posts Emile Dec 19 #14

There's been a lot of crap flying around here the past few days. It's like someone in authority said... Hekate Dec 19 #20

Sanders ran in the 2016 Democratic Primary MichMan Dec 19 #38

I am saying that he did not and could not win that primary. MineralMan Dec 19 #39

Clearly he didn't get enough delegates in 2016 MichMan Dec 19 #40

I like Elizabeth Warren's quote when asked about this very subject. egduj Dec 19 #21

Pretty straightforward really. nt redqueen Dec 20 #164

I suspect folks at DNC level put their fingers on the scale to some degree fairly regularly. Nature of POLITICS. dutch777 Dec 19 #30

Evidence? SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #32

The poster said they "suspect." Do we have to prove our hunches now? leftstreet Dec 19 #42

And Trump supporters "suspect" the 2020 election was stolen SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #44

Yet you haven't proven your own assertion leftstreet Dec 19 #47

First, I never claimed that SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #49

My mistake. Indeed you claimed you only saw 2. n/t leftstreet Dec 19 #50

Hunches mean nothing without evidence iemanja Dec 20 #160

Of course they did. H2O Man Dec 19 #97

It was pushed by the Fraud Tulsi Gabbard and others JI7 Dec 19 #33

History means something and makes a difference ThePartyThatListens Dec 19 #37

History has an evidentiary basis iemanja Dec 19 #102

That's exactly the way I remember it. intheflow Dec 19 #45

That resentment only spread, which resulted in what happened last month ThePartyThatListens Dec 19 #110

Donna Brazile documented it. Kid Berwyn Dec 19 #46

I have no doubt SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #48

Thumb on the scale Cirsium Dec 19 #142

Exactly what did they do SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #143

Coordinated Cirsium Dec 19 #145

What did they coordinate? SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #146

OK enough Cirsium Dec 20 #152

No it hasn't SocialDemocrat61 Dec 20 #153

Bye Cirsium Dec 20 #154

Have nice day SocialDemocrat61 Dec 20 #155

Clinton won 3.7 million more popular votes than Sanders iemanja Dec 19 #141

She did not cheat iemanja Dec 19 #147

Russian? Cirsium Dec 20 #150

That is not what Brazile said iemanja Dec 20 #159

Amazing Cirsium Dec 20 #165

who needs to earn ballots when you have superdelegates? cadoman Dec 19 #78

Super delegates are undemocratic SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #80

The super delegates did not determine the election iemanja Dec 19 #122

The super delegates did not determine the election iemanja Dec 19 #123

superdelegates absolutely had an effect cadoman Dec 19 #132

You have cultivated selective memory iemanja Dec 19 #139

The media piled on Hillary after she lost in 2016. StevieM Dec 19 #59

it had enough impact to cause this: Debbie Wasserman Schultz to resign as DNC chair as email scandal rocks Democrats Celerity Dec 19 #61

The voters chose Clinton iemanja Dec 19 #108

they thoroughly rejected BS Skittles Dec 19 #138

They did. The DNC favors their anointed candidates. Voltaire2 Dec 19 #52

Yes the DNC did favor Clinton SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #54

Yes well, the DNC is both in charge of organizing and funding primaries and candidates and 'favoring' their candidate. Voltaire2 Dec 19 #63

Yes they should SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #65

Second point I'd like to make: intheflow Dec 19 #55

Sorry but Sanders SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #58

He registered as a Democrat in 2019 to primary. intheflow Dec 19 #69

Yes he's done that before SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #71

He caucuses with Democrats and that's enough. His state voters prefer he remain an Independent Autumn Dec 19 #72

No argument there SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #77

Because he's told them FDR/LBJ aren't liberal democrats but "democratic socialists" which are the true roots betsuni Dec 19 #84

Because it was weaponized against him in 2015-16. intheflow Dec 19 #104

Well that is unfortunate SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #106

Oh, just seeing you're a ralative noob. intheflow Dec 19 #114

In post 53 you acknowledged that the DNC gave "an edge" to Clinton. egduj Dec 19 #64

Giving an edge SocialDemocrat61 Dec 19 #66

It is literally that. DontBelieveEastisEas Dec 20 #167

No it's not SocialDemocrat61 Dec 20 #168

That is not how this works Cirsium Dec 19 #70
