    The party didn’t argue in court that the 2016 primary was fair. They argued that the primary was theirs to fuck with as they saw fit.

    If Clinton really ran away with it like you claim, all that tells me is the party was dumb enough to cheat when it didn’t need to.

      What cheating?? What state was not allowed to elect convention delegates? What delegates defected from their candidate on the first ballot? I know you want to believe that there is a big progressive majority that wanted to chose sanders but it isn’t true.

      Alas, talking a stranger out of conspiracy theories is not how I intend to spend my day. Good luck out their friend. You lived in a media bubble where it seemed inevitable. Outside your bubble, it was a long shot.
