How we regarded election fraud and systemic bias in the primary

[BainsBane]

16. Sanders was on the DC ballot

It was a temporary clerical issue that was quickly resolved, though some wanted to make it into a conspiracy theory. The irony of the complaints about closed primaries while depending on the far more restrictive caucus system exposed that access to the ballot was not a concern at all. We had people here (following the lead of one of their favored radio entertainers) in utter outrage that some states allowed the elderly and the disabled to participate in caucuses via proxies. Then we had people insisting the votes of Southern states shouldn't count at all. Then after it was mathematically impossible for Sanders to win, they insisted the votes of citizens should be discarded in favor of polls by corporate media outlets. That was a particularly notable irony given the campaign rhetoric about corporations.

It was then I learned how little democracy and equal voting rights meant in certain quarters. Far too many were eager to jettison citizen rights to install in power their favored member of the political elite.

This OP would seem to constitute your excuse for Russian interference in the election. After a couple of days ago you insisted voters were not to be blamed for their choices, you now post some threads in an effort to blame voters for their choices.

I find it interesting how anxious some are to make excuses when they like the results of an election, while condemning similar or far lesser things when a contest doesn't turn out how they want.
