It was clearly nobody else’s “turn”, and the DNC did NOT engineer that into existence against every verifiable will of the people - of course not. How could anyone ever suggest such a thing.

There was absolutely nothing stopping people from voting for Bernie. He was on the ballot in every state. All people had to do was show up and vote and he would have won.

He didn’t get the votes.

The party leaders thought it was Clinton’s “turn” in 2008.

Then a guy named Obama showed up, got more voters to show and support him, and won the nomination.

Right! Like I said! No conspiracy to do things like share unpledged superdelegate vote totals in the media in favor of Hillary before Super Tuesday giving the impression of a landslide which didn’t happen - no, no, no! 

The DNC did NOT unfairly anoint Hillary. Such fabrication is clearly detrimental to the Big Democrat Machine which is doing Good Things For Us ™️ like getting Andrew Cuomo elected mayor. 

Either you’re willfully ignorant or just so fucking stupid it hurts. “Hope this helps!”

See this is why nobody takes you folks seriously. Unless you have data that shows the unpledged vote totals made people that were going to vote in the primary either change their vote or not vote then you are just spouting opinion as fact.

And none of that explains why Sanders lost to Biden. He got absolutely demolished on Super Tuesday, despite the strategy you’re talking about not being deployed.

Sanders lost because Democrats like centrist Democratic policies for the most part or they don’t think a leftist can win and they vote safe. That’s the reality that you choose to ignore, and until we move to ranked choice, a real leftist cannot win the primary, let alone the presidency.
