I disagree strongly with this position, actually. Bernie, especially at the beginning, was a long shot. The money I gave to Sanders was to start building Leftist institutions in the US, and to use my money as my "free speech" to let the DNC know how I felt. And guess what? Genuine progressive/Left candidates are running in record numbers, receiving record grassroots contributions, a huge number of political organizations have been built, and so forth. It was a longer term investment than a single election, and it was all well-worth it.
(It doesn't stop Clinton from being a piece of **** though.)
I mean, as I alluded to, this more or less happened, just we don't have good numbers and we cannot know the extent of it all. 800,000 ballots in California Democratic primary were thrown in the trash due to rules being written regarding Independent voters (it was actually against the rules to explain to Independents what kind of crossover ballot was the correct ballot), NY's election commission illegally purged 200,000 Brooklyn voters, and so forth. That's just one state and another borough. Rhode Island, Arizona, and several other states shut down (possibly illegally, I'm not sure) voting stations on the day of elections. Ohio's results never made sense, but that's very far from proof of ballot-stuffing nor is there any clear indication of ballot-stuffing.
Is it enough to swing the election on its own? No. Can we prove that Clinton was personally involved? No --at least not currently. Was she involved? Well, I can't imagine career politicians did this **** for Clinton without letting her know so she could return the favor, but that's different than proof. Either way, at the end of the day, it's proven that Clinton wiped her ass with the campaign finance laws with a technical legal loophole, and subverted the primary process by rigging the rules, the data/analytics, personnel, and messaging from the DNC to her favor. The DNC messaging issue is another topic worthy of discussion, but it's also explicitly clear that Clinton used the DNC and her personal contacts to make certain that the media never covered the Sanders campaign. We have some clear indications of this through Wikileaks, but we'll never see how thorough her/her surrogates controlled the media. We also know that she explicitly wanted the media to cover the Trump and Cruz campaigns, because they were the "dream scenarios," rather than the Sanders campaign. So even before we get to tallying votes and illegally purging voters, Clinton already basically destroyed the Sanders campaign by throwing corporate/Wall St. cash and journalistic access at any possible problems. Everyone does what they can to win, obviously, but this is just wildly unethical.
