If people knew what was good for them, they would have supported him. Instead, racism, bigotry and intolerance was a priority for the majority of Americans. Good job fucking yourselves over last election. I hope Trump keeps this shit up till you guys reach the boiling point....

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of good folks in America, but arguably, not enough yet.

“What do you tell voters who are new to the process who say this makes them feel like it’s all rigged?” Tapper asked the DNC chair.

“Unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don’t have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists,” Wasserman Schultz calmly explained.

Fuck Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Fuck the DNC. They literally worked against the will of the people to install an establishment candidate and told the world they did it. This is not democracy. This is the event that radicalized me.

You're confusing the DNC with the primary voters, who gave Clinton a landslide victory over Sanders. You can't get any closer to the will of the people than that.

Yeah, but thats a shallow fact. It ignores the very real truths of the dnc not staying neutral in 2016. It ignores the concept of superdelegate that existed back then. Sure the promary voters ultimately decided, but pretending like the dnc didnt put the thumb on the scale with its media aparatus is to be disingenuous.

Don't forget the Democratic National Convention ratfucking Bernie twice. Establishment Democrats can't let progressives get into power because it threatens their own, since Dems and Cons share a lot of the same donors (AIPAC, etc.).
