Do you have any idea how influential media is? When you have MSNBC and CNN plus various others talking about how Biden is the only viable option again and again and again, you can’t ignore the influence of that. He won South Carolina after the endorsement of a very popular and influential corporate Democrat there. The media along with the DNC saw that as the opportunity to rally around Biden.

I’m oversimplifying a bit for the sake of brevity, obviously, but bottom line, Biden was chosen and supported to defeat Bernie because they couldn’t accept the possibility of a politician like Bernie winning. He was a threat to capital and he was extinguished from the race.

Does the word superdelegate mean nothing to you?
It just factually is rigged as long as the system is in place.
Superdelegates serve a valid purpose. If the Republican party had them we might not have been subjected to four years of Trump.
They’ve literally fucking admitted to it and apologised, and you still eat the Lib propaganda that he lost fairly?
Name calling isn’t really in the spirit of this instance. You can argue and still be nice.
Oh joy the reddit moral prude police have found the place.
