You may have a differing opinion, and that's okay.

So you're saying the followers of a twitter account are inclined to share the views expressed on it. That's incredible.

What is VermontKevin's purpose here? It's not clear to me. Not at all. Please tell me.

that the DNC "rigged" the election; that the DNC connection with Hillary via the signed fundraising agreement, whatever it said, influenced ordinary primary voters to choose her instead of Bernie.

and then not explaining why HRC won more votes than Sanders and tying that into the rigging does exactly that.

How did the “rigged” primary garner more votes for Clinton?

It didn’t keep people from voting for Sanders, or donating to him, so it must imply that those of us that supported Clinton were in some way duped by the DNC or primary process, cause it was “rigged.”

What other explanation can there be? I mean, there’s no way that Clinton could beat Sanders without somehow “rigging” things, right? That’s what claiming that Clinton garnered more votes comes down to.
