After DNC leaks, will any of the countless pundits who chastised Sanders supporters for calling the process "rigged" go back and recant?
-
-
Reputable proponents of the "rigged" charge always pointed to systemic/structural factors that made it exceedingly hard for Sanders to win.
-
One of those factors was the institutional bias toward Hillary among the party apparatus, which we now have incontrovertible proof of.
-
There was always a bad faith, strawman-type misreading by pro-Hillary pundits about what Sanders supporters meant when they said "rigged!"
-
So are those scolding pundits going to modify their positions in the face of new evidence? Or stay as recalcitrant as ever? YOU DECIDE...
-
Getting the support of the entire institutional party, along with state party affiliates, is a *massive* structural advantage in primaries.
-
You can call that "rigged" or something else; point is, it was collusion in favor of one candidate by powerful, ostensibly neutral bodies.
-
"Rigged" is a shorthand descriptor for structural problems. That's what Warren did last night. And that's what Sanders supporters always did

randomly just read your piece and found it the most reasoned account of pro-Bernie, anti-DNC position. Very good points but

I have sympathy for those that do, due to the media's "MOMENTUM" narrative & type of coverage they provide w/ minor vote difference
