If the Democrat Party machinery had NO influence in who became president in 2016, Bernie Sanders might be President today. Alas, the party knows better than its members. That's sort of the theme of the left. Trust us. We know better than you. We should make your choices for you.
Needless to say, it didn't work out for Bernie either.

That is a part of the proof that you're dumb for being a democrat. The party doesn't give a small rat's ass for what you need, what you want, or what you would like.

Whereas no proof at all is need to prove that you're dumb if you are Runaway1956. You're an idiot, Runaway. Please be quiet and let the adults discuss policy.

Why the hell is this modded Flamebait? Superdelegates were absolutely a thing, and them (almost) all going to Hillary is why she got nominated.

Well, that and the fact that she won every Democratic primary...

*34-23
Although I'm still wondering why this adds up to a total of 57 and not 50...maybe suspect Wikipedia math. But still.

Oh. Territories vote in the primaries? LOLWUT. Considering they have no electoral votes, that's interesting.

Also, Bernie did well in the caucus states, and that’s a completely non-democratic process. The idea that he was the people’s choice and they were betrayed by the DNC and evil Killary is complete BS.

It's a far cry from winning "every" Democratic primary, though.
