Hilary isn't playing

Ah, yes, let's completely ignore the part where superdelegates were used to give her the appearance of an insurmountable lead before a single vote was cast.
No part of that election was run fairly. Stop pretending it was.
While you're at it, maybe address the part where her campaign actively promoted Trump in his primary as a pied piper. Hillary Clinton is uniquely and singularly responsible for Trump becoming president.
- Ignore her own statements, and history.
  You look like you don't remember anything, or you're not honest.
  “We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to take them seriously,” the memo said.

  Odd response given your other statements throughout this thread.
  
  Are you serious? You're doubling down on superdelegates having no influence on the primaries?
  
  No, it fucking isn't. Your dismissal is unfounded. My claim is the same argument that the Sanders campaign used to get the DNC to reform the superdelegate process after 2016.
  
  Lmfao, "show me the proof" of the thing that was so egregious it forced a reform?

  You're a bad internet user, and you've displayed a lot of dishonesty in this thread.
  
  Being arrogantly incorrect is a bad look for any of us.
  Apologies for calling you a bad internet user.
  I felt it more apropos to address the behavior and provide facts instead of posting a 'let me google that for you'.
  
  Your memories of that campaign don't jibe with mine. The fucking superdelegates were a huge part of the campaign and coverage and, in my opinion, did a fuck ton of damage with idiot voters.
  
  I've been voting for over 3 decades. My first vote, in a presidential election, was Dukakis. I have walked precincts to get the vote out before my joints made that impossible. I'm not whatever the fuck you're trying to make me out to be. I think the results of the primaries prove unquestionably that the voters, specifically the geriatrics who show up in the primaries, are dipshit voters. I don't know how you could think otherwise, unless you love the current state of things. It does consistently piss me off that most of the people who bitch about the "2 shitty choices" at general election time do seem to be the same apathetic shits who can't be bothered to show up for primaries.
