So let’s say the DNC did want Clinton to beat Sanders. Except for a miscount in Colorado of one delegate that was corrected what did the DNC do? Did they give money to Clinton? Change rules on how to apportion delegates? Threaten superdelegates to vote for Clinton? ---

I don’t think there is a question of the election being rigged. One only needs to glance at Bernie’s noble, just, passionate, and heavily undetailed policies to know if they would vote for that crook Hillary. I doubt many voters would have voted the way they did without the DNC’s exposure! ---

What I question is the number and scheduling of the debates. Less debates and debates scheduled at bad times are advantageous to the most well known candidate. ---

And, if you took all the “Irregularities”, by and large they’d do nothing but add votes for Hillary. Even if they didnt, you could take them all, multiply by 1000 and Hilary would _still_ would have won. Karl Rove is behind this, I really think. ---

Less debates and debates scheduled at bad times are advantageous to the most well known candidate. You’ll never get a level playing field. For one, DWS can’t give Hillary a penis, so its never going to be level for her. Sanders had more years to prep for running for President than Hillary did - if he wanted to become a better known candidate, he should have used that time better. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > The money WHO gave the Bernie campaign? The DNC? Or money that donors gave the DNC with some sort of understanding that some or all of it would be passed on to the Bernie campaign? The putative plaintiffs. As in, they pretend to claim the DNC should compensate the Bernsters for the money _the Bernsters_ (or more particularly this specific set of Bernsters) put into the Sanders campaign. Y’know this feature of the system whereby anyone can file a suit for anything, to later have it laughed out of court but only after having made someone spend time and money at it, is a bit annoying at times. ---

Damn. Treble means they want to be paid three times the amount they donated. And people say Trump’s trying to make money running for President. ---

> [@Johnny\_Ace](#): > > Now that’s a new one…conditional-refund political donations. Well what they’re saying is, they gave money to the Bernie Sanders campaign with the understanding that Sanders was an authentic candidate for president. If they had known about the DNC secret plot to guarantee that there was no way Bernie could win, they wouldn’t have donated. Therefore, the DNC fraud led to them being financially harmed.
