20. Oh bullshit.

Hillary stomped Sanders. It was not """rigged.""" And it wasn't even Hillary vs. Sanders, it was Hillary vs anti-Hillary, and the Hillary vote won fair and square, no matter how much Russians, Republicans, and Jill Stein voters want to portray it otherwise.

2020 reiterated this point, when even though Sanders and his people literally wrote the rules of the primary, people like myself -- a Sanders voter in 2016 -- went to the polls and took others with us to PROUDLY vote for Biden and rebuke what Sanders and some (many?) of his supporters did in 2016 to help propel Trump to the presidency.

The voters have always had the power in the Democratic primary and they will have the power again in 2028 when we select our next presidential nominee. Any candidate that can't agree with that and thinks they might whine about """rigging!!1!""" after the fact when all but one will inevitably lose should just skip out on the primary and save us all the trouble.
