I disagree , like the electoral college system you can call it biased , you can call it unfair but unless something exceptional happened you can ' t call it rigged . You mention media collusion , the big all encompassing shorthand and ultimately lazy conspiracy theory . Sure some instance probably preferred Clinton , but what you can ' t say is there was an overarching media collusion to promote the narrative you ' re suggesting . Who is they who pushed the Bernie bro narrative ? Are you taking individuals words and making them part of a calculated effort to discredit Bernie ? Do you have any real evidence of this conspiracy ? Is it possible that there are just a lot of individuals who supported Clinton and disliked Bernie ? After all millions more voted for Clinton than both Bernie and Trump . Closed and open primaries is more ambiguous but you can argue it serves a purpose . Here in the UK thousands of conservatives joined the labour party just to vote in a leader who they thought was unelectable . Considering how badly he ' s doing they ' ve succeeded . Why shouldn ' t the DNC want to prevent outside interference in their election ? Other claims of voter suppression I don ' t really know much about , but the sheer volume of fabricated bullshit when it comes to the DNC and Clinton makes me wary of most things I hear .
