The DNC rigged the primary for Hilary and pushed Bernie out.

The "rigging" amounted to "Played favorites in signal-boosting Hillary". Which, while unfair and shitty, really does nothing to contradict the fact that Bernie lost by far more than the DNC doing signal-boosting for the right-wing cretin.

I voted and marched for Bernie in 2016. I donated at a time when I didn't really have money to donate. I still love Bernie. But we, the primary voters, failed the US; we primary voters were not prevented from casting the votes they wanted to or playing a rigged game. We, as a very distinct majority, voted for Clinton instead of Bernie. And then for Biden instead of Bernie.

At some point, one must acknowledge the voters are the core of the problem, even if the DNC deserves to be driven to live off locusts in the desert and never show their faces in civilized society again.
