Bernie never had an edge; he lost 4 of the first 5 contests and finished with nearly 4 million fewer votes. It’s no secret the party apparatus preferred Hillary - to their great detriment given what happened in the general - but it absolutely ahistorical to insist that Bernie was somehow cheated out of anything.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoHmm. It appears that my memory is faulty.
- 8note 6y agoIt's just right wing propaganda taking its effect. You remember that the democrats stole the election from Bernie because the GOP wanted democrats to not be excited about voting for hilary, so they spread the message as much as they could
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoI don't think it's that simple. I think it was at least as much left-wing propaganda that "Bernie is winning!"
