People wanted Bernie, Biden was voted for during the primaries in states that went to Trump anyways. The DNC does not want Bernie, so even if he made it to the presidency he would not be able to enact change. Who you can vote for is picked by the wealthy who influence the media and government, Capitalists.

It is absolutely not an unsubstantiated conspiracy, it's a well-known and documented fact. Pretending that the democratic process within America is not hand-picked and chosen by large corporations and Capitalists is naive and unsubstantiated.

Some people wanted Bernie, most didn't. That's why he didn't win. You have no idea what the DNC wants. The DNC has no authority to try and sabotage a Sanders presidency, that's a wild thing to say. There were some emails 7 years ago and those people resigned. They're not going to rig it. Or ignore the vote.

If who you can vote for IS decided by the Evil Capitalists, how did Sanders get onto the ballot, then get millions of votes in 2016 & 2020? How did he run a campaign without a superpac, beating out millionaires with massive campaign funds?

I guess it's cool if you think politics doesn't matter because it's all a conspiracy, it just means your political beliefs have zero chance of getting anywhere.

Here is a good article on the hurdles Bernie had put in his way by the DNC.

Which brings us to the goal for this essay: To allow someone with one hour and no background in polling or statistics to come away with an intimate understanding of the real story behind the 2020 Democratic Primary. If you are someone with even a kernel of doubt about the legitimacy of the results, this is, without hyperbole, the most important document you will ever read.

You might as well be linking me to the Q board on 8chan. This guy is huffing litres of copium.
