Qualified how exactly?

Harris couldn't make it out of Iowa when she tried a legitimate run and Clinton had to rig primaries to win against Bernie. (A practice Dems were later forced to defend in a public court proceeding.)

    You're mixing up qualifications with elect-ability. They are not the same thing. Both women were very qualified for the job. That has nothing to do with whether or not people like, or are willing to vote, for them. Given your other comments, I'm guessing this isn't a mistake on your part, but run of the mill disingenuous internet troll behavior.

    You fuckin people still going on about how it was rigged when you just don't understand either how it works in the first place and also that Bernie overwhelmingly lost to Hilary because he's not a fuckin Democrat, of course Democrats are going to pick the Democrat to represent the Democrats, and the primary was legit and it wasn't remotely fuckin close. Progressives don't vote, and they didn't show up or register to vote for him in the primary and he fuckin overwhelmingly lost. Take your russian republican propaganda bullshit and fuck off fuckin fascist supporter.

    I respect the shit out of Bernie, but I'm beyond fucking tired of people whining about him.

    He lost the popular vote in both primaries.

    He wasn't as popular as the people still whining about it think he was.

    Shit yeah, I campaigned for him and voted for him in the primary and still wasn't surprised that he overwhelmingly lost, like it wasn't even close. That was democratic primary voters that picked Hillary, any finger on the scales the DNC had wasn't making a significant difference. DNC could have backed Bernie and he still would have lost. Democratic primary voters are almost exclusively liberals, I've already mentioned a thousand times us progressives mostly don't vote.

    It's astounding she managed to rig all the independent polling too.
