    Ah, yes, let’s completely ignore the part where superdelegates were used to give her the appearance of an insurmountable lead before a single vote was cast.

    No part of that election was run fairly. Stop pretending it was.

    While you’re at it, maybe address the part where her campaign actively promoted Trump in his primary as a pied piper. Hillary Clinton is uniquely and singularly responsible for Trump becoming president.

        Ignore her own statements, and history.

        You look like you don’t remember anything, or you’re not honest.

        “We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to take them seriously,” the memo said.

            Odd response given your other statements throughout this thread.

        Are you serious? You’re doubling down on superdelegates having no influence on the primaries?

            No, it fucking isn’t. Your dismissal is unfounded. My claim is the same argument that the Sanders campaign used to get the DNC to reform the superdelegate process after 2016.

                Lmfao, “show me the proof” of the thing that was so egregious it forced a reform?

                    You’re a bad internet user, and you’ve displayed a lot of dishonesty in this thread.

                    Your memories of that campaign don’t jibe with mine. The fucking superdelegates were a huge part of the campaign and coverage and, in my opinion, did a fuck ton of damage with idiot voters.
