    For one they did not, at all, care for the results of the votes. Like in 2016 they just used Superdelegates to invalidate all the races Clinton had lost.

      They did no such thing. Fuck’s sake. We lost by some 10% points, against Hillary fucking Clinton. This idea that the better candidate will automatically be the more popular one is some utter fucking delusion I keep seeing from the left.

      I voted for Bernie twice. I would vote for him again in a heartbeat, age and all. That’s not the same as peddling “The DNC STOLE the primary from us!”

          West Virginia, where Clinton is the literal devil even amongst Democrats? Where the Obama administration was reviled, even amongst Democrats, and Clinton was still heavily associated with the Obama administration?

          Do you… do you think West Virginia is more socialist inclined? More progressive inclined?

          I spent most of my life growing up next door to West Virginia. West Virginia was a literal, not figurative, stone’s throw from my hometown. I know a lot of West Virginians.

          WV going for Bernie in the 2016 primary doesn’t say what you think it does.
