The DNC was indebted to Clinton and had a signed agreement with the Clinton campaign to allow Clinton to influence the party's finances, strategy, and money raised. This was signed in 2015, before votes were cast. The Clinton campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all staff. Wasserman Schultz even accepted a 2 million dollar loan from Clinton for the DNC without the consent of party officers like herself, which also violated party rules. In short, the Clinton campaign took advantage of the DNC's debts and bought off the DNC.

The DNC email leak before the DNC convention also revealed DNC staffers exchanging emails about how to beat Sanders in primary states, including bringing Sanders's Jewish religion into the campaign. The Clinton campaign was also leaked debate questions and topics from the DNC before a town hall.

Of course you agree with any narrative that disparages the DNC. You always throw in that they're big dumb meanies when you talk about them, we get it.

And a nuance of this story worth mentioning: Russian agents hacked the DNC emails and leaked them in revenge for Hillary's meddling in the 2011 Russian elections- running propaganda ops and showing her rigging her election, as retaliation for her running propaganda ops and accusing Putin of rigging his election. But the fact Russians were trying to expose Hillary rigging the election was ironic when they didn't even have a clue she really was rigging the primaries so directly with the JFA. The Russians never got close to revealing the depth of how compromised the DNC was. We had Muellers investigation and years of xenophobia, hostile relations and democrats screaming their heads off because the Russians only found mundane emails scheming to say mean things about Bernie when the entire primary was micromanaged by the Clinton campaign since day 1.

The Des Moines Register was scheduled to release the Iowa Poll 15 minutes ago, regarded as the most important poll prior to the democratic caucuses each presidential year.
Its the biggest deal in the polling biz in Iowa.

... and for good reason, lol! Both major parties are rotten to the core.




Lol, are we seriously supposed to believe that their staff, who have conducted similar interviews multiple times this cycle, NOW have trouble pronouncing Buttigieg's name all of a sudden?

Seltzer & Co are fantastic pollsters, and I have a hard time to believe that their employees produce such a fuck up at such a crucial time. In general, while I'm no expert on polling, it seems kinda excessive to cancel an entire poll in such a situation instead of just excluding the interviews conducted by the specific interviewer where issues were reported. But ok, depending on the sample size and the stratification, this might be impossible.

Even at the risk of coming across like a conspiracy theorist, I have to say: what an eerie timing that the crucial and final Iowa poll, 2 days from the caucus, commissioned by CNN (nicknamed "Clinton News Network" since the 90s!) , had to be cancelled over such a hiccup at a moment when Sanders is surging. How convenient...

The first paragraph doesn't seem to have much to do with "rigging the primary against Bernie." There's no doubt that the DNC FAVORED Clinton but how could they not? Clinton has done an incredible amount for the Democrats whereas Bernie hasn't done much at all. Maybe Bernie could have done more for POC, voter registration efforts, etc. Alas, he isn't a team player so you reap what you sow. Anyway, if Clinton didn't have massive institutional support, Bernie would have to fight other mainstream candidates and would have struggled to gain traction and support. We've had plenty of Bernie-esque candidates before (Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, etc.) and they all went nowhere. Bernie isn't special; he got lucky that he was able to spread his message in the 2016 primary and he's lucky that Hillary cleared the field before then.

The emails were inconsequential because Bernie should have dropped out by then. At the time, he probably needed to win 80% of the vote in the remaining states or something ridiculous like that. Bernie was being a complete asshole but I suppose he needed to do that to keep his message strong. He sacrificed party unity for selfish reasons but that shouldn't surprise anyone because he's an incredibly self-serving politician.

None of the things you mentioned means that the primary was rigged. Instead of being a gullible fan boy, you should learn why forming coalitions is important.
