Correction to the article: The most important mistake she made was working with the DNC to stop Bernie Sanders from rightfully getting the nomination. This is why Donnie Moscow ended up in office in the first place.
I will never believe the 2020 Iowa caucus was legitimate - the Iowa Democratic Party chair resigned after that disaster and Iowa lost its first in the nation status because of how badly it fucked things up.
But, party insiders working together with party leadership to discipline party voters is normal political party stuff. The fact that Clinton, and later Biden, won because the Party put its thumbs on the scale is simply a factor of running in the Dem primary. Any insurgent candidate has to be able to deal with that, and Bernie failed. He tried to run as if the election would be fair, and lost.
I'm baffled by your reply - what does it have to do with my comment? I didn't even use the word "liberals"?
My point is that party primaries are not fair, and they are not intended to be fair. The Democrats could make a primary rule that forbids socialists from even running as Democrats, and it would be entirely legal. Primary rules are not the same as general election rules. Any socialist trying to run as a Democrat should run under the assumption that the Party will put its thumbs on the scale.
I guess you never heard of Henry A. Wallace. The DNC did the same thing to him. He had the votes to be VP, but they pulled shenanigans to pick Truman. Same shit, different decade.

The control her cabal had over the DNC was sickening.
And then after fucking him over they didn't even extend the VP nom to him to try and reconcile their base
Take your fucking pills and go to bed Grandma.
Until we can turn them into fuel or an energy source the elderly have no place in this world.
Bernie lost his primary and the right wing spread some of the most effective propaganda it ever had in what you just said there.
Gullible people still think Bernie had a chance ten years later and are still repeating it to sow discord with liberals.

I’m always baffled leftists can’t accept their candidates aren’t popular so that’s why they lose.
Nothing to do with liberals.

The Party = liberals.
What do you think a Party even is? Do you think it's a liberal social club? That the DNC is just a bunch of like-minded individuals?
The Party is an institution, with its own leadership and structure and financiers and insiders. It's an organization.
It's baffling that you don't think a political party has a political agenda.
I think the DNC is a majority of liberals.

The difference is Bernie didn’t have the votes.
He lost because Hilary had more votes.
Almost as big of a mistake as putting her and Debbie in charge of the DNC during her run.....
Thanks, Hil, for telling us something we knew while it was happening. Still, it's nice seeing someone saying it out loud.
Three years too late.
