Except it really wasn't both. Sanders key brand point is being a perpetual victim when things don't swing his way 100%.
It's how you get the type of posts we see here that spread endless conspiracy like it's a youtube comment section on Alex Jones.

Gotta jump on it before Bernie can claim victory.
It was ok when pete was saying that he won in the headlines
But I thought the talking point is Trump is afraid of Sanders,
Where the people may get that crazy notion? Sanders' campaign manager said aloud the other day the 2016 primary was rigged. They are the ones feeding that theory.
I just think the average voter cares more about jobs and health care than they do about having more investigations done or having a high school student vet the secretary of education.
I think Bernie is winning on saying I can beat Trump, I want you to have health care and I want you to have a job with a livable wage.
I find Warren (and Pete) both have a bit of that, I will say whatever I have to to get elected, thing going on.
I could be wrong, just my opinion.
Look at the results yourselves
Hillary was the clear winner
what did surprise me is looking at 2008
Hillary got more popular vote than Obama, but Obama won with delegates
Prefacing your comment with "not a conspiracy theory" does not change what you're saying.
Resign, now. You've done a terrible job. And your timing, now that the results are almost complete, is shit.
Isn't Bernie winning by 0.1?
I mean, wouldn't you want a recount if Bernie was losing by 0.1?
Lots of things that have been covered over the years in threads during the 2016 run up which I'm not really interested in going over again and again and again.
I mean, you don't have to be wearing a tinfoil hat to get a strong sense that the Democratic establishment and media have it out for Bernie and will set up every roadblock they can.
Yep.
He should just take the headlines at this point, kill or be killed.
uh, is this dude calling a recount now?
he let this shitshow go on when he could've called for a stop at any time?
the fuck's his problem? why didn't he step in earlier? jesus christ what a disorganized mess

People are going to call you a conspiracy theorist regardless, but there are lots of questions to be asked towards the decision making.
Really shitty timing on that recanvass. Oh well, it should still bare out the same.
Really? Because his spokesperson at the time said that they didn't lose because of any rigging.

I haven't been calling for a recount this entire time when it appeared razor thin between bernie and pete. Calling for it now is a terrible terrible look.
At this point, everyone should just be moving on. Rerunning the whole thing will make no difference - the results will be the same murky mess, and the actual delegate counts won't change. Just concentrate on New Hampshire and Nevada, and maybe push for Iowa to drop the caucus in 2024.
These results are rigged! You can clearly see all these issues with the reporting! Terrible for democracy!
Oh, a recount now? What a terrible idea!
It's been effectively a tie this entire time.This changes .... nothing! Except maybe the Wikipedia entry in four years.

What if the recount shows even more votes for bernie
idk, I think when shit is this close and there are calls of fuckerry, the best move is to recount

This sentiment is getting old. Democratic infighting is ugly because the progressive left is on a fundamentally different mission than the moderate/centrist one. If this infighting does not resolve, the voters will not give trust in the emergent compromise candidate. Do we really need to spell this out again?
It's like they WANT to keep the conspiracy's going. The moment things turn for Bernie you've got your chair out their pounding his fists for a recount.
Everyone following his Instagram account agrees with you, going by the comments lol
They already have full control so not much would change. Although thankfully Bloomberg isn't complete trash (just mostly), he at least has a good track record when it comes to guns and the environment.
I'm not saying it's a conspiracy theory, I'm saying the timing is fucking awful. They let pete bask in his victory for a few days while it was a total shitshow, now it looks like bernie is gonna get a victory speech and they wait until the very end to re-do it, when the damage is already done? At this point it'll basically render the whole thing useless as the NH primary will be underway by the time results come in. It's ridiculous, why didn't they get out in front of this?
