They just ‘put their thumbs on the scales’? What does that even mean? They did ‘everything they could to lock him out of the process’ while letting him campaign and participate in the process? All your examples are vague as fuck, bro.
“I’ma be disrespectful to you, but I expect you to teach me!”
This ain’t a debate. lol. If you want people to share their knowledge with you, come correct. Most people would be happy to share information. When you act all dishonest it makes no one want to even talk to you unless they agree with you
The man is out here talking shit and won’t show you evidence of why he’s right because it’s not his job to be a teacher and also you are disrespectful in your challenging of his assertions, am I following you correctly?
The reason for no evidence is because there is no evidence, the reason for my disrespect is because i know he has no evidence. Don’t try to pretend like if i came at this from a different angle he’d suddenly be opening the library of Alexandria for us.
If I say, the earth isn’t a perfect sphere and that actually it’s a bit oval/elliptical (or whatever or supposedly is) and then someone answers all pissy and asking me to prove it, do you really think I’m likely to help them understand my position if I find them rude and annoying? Most people that genuinely want to understand others’ point of view don’t say things like “or was that someone else’s fault?” They say things like"can you explain why you think that?" or maybe “I’ve been thinking xyz, why is it you think abc instead?”
Sigh… Go read about superdelegates. Then read about reporting. Then read about social engineering. Then look at the mob mentality of wanting to vote for the likely winner. Then apply all of that knowledge to the events as they happened during Bernie’s campaigns.
Here’s a simpler explanation: Progressive voters don’t turn out, even when it’s Bernie. They failed him in 16, they failed him in 20, and now they’ve failed us all.
It’s easy to mail in vote, it is easy to donate money. It’s hard to actually physically show up and vote, so they stay at home.
Superdelegates are the primary tool that the DNC used to exert influence over primaries. They’ve only ever once voted against the voter consensus, but they pledge full support early, which is then used by the media to grossly misrepresent candidate popularity. Mob mentality causes voters to pile behind the leading candidates, and thus the outcome of the primaries can be manipulated through use of super delegates. They abused this mechanism so heavily against Bernie that sweeping changes were made to the way that super delegates operate to avoid torch and pitchforks from an enraged constituency.
There, I explained it to you in a very summarized form, even though I didn’t want to.
Did they take his name off the ballot?
Did they change the vote totals?
Did they forbid him from campaigning?

Edit: there, I typed it out since obviously nobody will actually go learn something on their own.
Superdeligates have never once decided a primary.

Lemmy like Reddit is a circlejerk.
Bernie lost because less people voted for him.
If it wasn’t for the undemocratic caucuses, he would have lost earlier.
