    While Bernie very well may not have won regardless, the whole superdelegates bullshit turned off a LOT of voters because it appeared that the DNC was overriding the will of the voters. Had they just left things alone, Clinton likely would have gotten the nomination anyway without leaving a huge voter bloc feeling bitter and resentful.

      I’m one of those people who was bitter and resentful. I’m old enough to have watched the same scenario play out over and over before.

      For the first time, I was actually hopeful that some real change might actually happen, that benefited myself and my fellow “landed gentry”. I had even done something i never thought I would have. I volunteered my time to help Bernie’s campaign.

      Then the DNC did what they always do, and made sure that what THEY wanted was more important than the country. Which is how we ended up with trump. Because the status quo wasn’t bad enough already. Right?
