Because there was no rigging. He was a better candidate. Give him his due.
You have to understand that the DNC has an incompetence matched only by their own self-importance. There was no rigging in 2016 because they truly believed, despite all the evidence, that Clinton was a shoo-in, because they did not and do not see America clearly in the way Trump does.
It’s just a bunch of boomers entrenched in power for decades getting so high on their own supply they OD’d. And frankly, the RNC was headed in the same damn direction, but their “fringe” candidate who was not part of the machine and whom the machine desperately tried to kill (metaphorically) in the primaries was stronger and able to sell a better story than the left’s version (Sanders).
The DNC of course quickly learned their lesson and then pivoted in 2020 to back an (extremely relative) outsider with actual fervent, groundswelling, youthful support behind him, instead of crowning a long-time company man because he put in the work and it’s “his time” and he “deserves it”.
I'm with you. I'm not suggesting he won illegitimately. I'm saying I want the story on how they (us) beat the rigging that year.
