It’s weird. It’s usually the people who don’t understand how primaries work who are the ones to think the popular vote picks the president. Glad to see you understand at least one part of the electoral process.

MotoAsh@lemmy.world 6 months agoWho runs the primaries and how effectively did they railroad Hillary through?
Do not mistake the appearance of democracy for the presence of democracy. Or are you also so daft as to think the popular vote picks the president, too?

I love how you’re so stupid as to say, “X authority cannot be corrupt! The candidate YOU say they wanted really badly to win DID win, so clearly they’re not corrupt!”
You’re so stupid you’re using tautological arguments and don’t even see it.

Because she only ever needed about 30% of the vote in the primaries to win. Unplugged delegates made that the case, and they all fell in line with Hillary. Then heavily advertising the disadvantage Sanders is at in delegates to depress the Sanders vote.
My state is a good example of this - Sanders got over half the votes and Hillary got 35%, which is why Hillary only got one more delegate than he did in my state.
