    The 2016 DNC primaries were not rigged. We all voted for who we wanted. I went out and voted for Bernie. The DNC did want Clinton to win the primaries and she had friends and plenty of money and backers to run. Bernie had money from people like me and me telling people why to vote for Bernie. Hillary was more famous and more of a front runner so she did get more attention. But Bernie had a great message and grassroots support. But all that comes down to votes. Bernie didn’t get enough to win the primaries.

    I don’t know what you mean by “keeping people off the registry”. Everyone who was legal to register could and could vote.

    Here is a Vox news article on it if you want to read more.

    Was the Democratic primary rigged?

      Like I said: Just because they weren’t doing things so blatantly illegal and obvious does not make everything that transpired acceptable. If you think the DNC didn’t work VERY hard to have their thumb on the scale for Hillary, then you simply did not pay enough attention.

      Like I said: If you ask, “what corruption?” THAT WAS THE ENTIRE POINT!! To fly under the radar. Remember, the news themselves wanted Hillary to win.
