Hillary Clinton did indeed get the most votes, but she has been the nominee-in-waiting since Obama's reelection in 2012.
She had a record number of endorsements from Congress and governors before the DNC primaries even began, and the national media began her coronation as early as 2014.
Worse, WikiLeaks emails revealed the DNC had been propping up HRC long before the primaries began, manipulating media outlets in favor of HRC and also internally undermining other DNC candidates.
At the end of the day, more Democratic primary voters picked her than anyone else, but to deny the overwhelming influence of the political establishment and main stream media in the process would be glossing over important details.
I'm not denying that her colleagues wanted her as a candidate...I mean why wouldn't they? Name me one other Democrat who has helped Democrats all over the country get elected. She's the best. Also, I'd argue that the media helped prolong the Democrat primary. Bernie was done when he didn't win Iowa by 10%. The media lied to the American people by pretending that the race was competitive.
You need to quit being so fucking butt hurt that your shit candidate didn't win.
