10 Reasons Bernie Sanders Supporters are NOT Conspiracy Theorists!

The DNC Presidential Primaries ended yesterday. But for some the process was never a fair fight. Many Hillary supporters and Democratic strategists have criticized Sanders supporters for saying they won’t support Clinton under any circumstance. Others have called Sanders supporters crazy for asserting that there were organized attempts to suppress their vote. Here are 10 highly credible reasons Sanders supporters are not buying the mainstream narrative.

Hillary Victory Fund

Among the many allegations asserted by Sanders supporters is the notion that the DNC primaries were rigged from the beginning. Indeed there is compelling evidence that the Democratic Party coronated Hillary Clinton as their nominee before the primary began. Federal law limits the amount of money that an individual can give to a candidate. But where there’s a will there’s a way. The Washington Post reported that Clinton’s campaign set up the Hillary Victory Fund. The fund was setup to allow donors to contribute more money to Hillary’s campaign by using a loophole. While a donor has a limit on the amount they can directly contribute to a candidate, a donor can donate money to each state’s Democratic party. The Hillary Victory Fund encouraged donors to make donations to the various state parties. The state parties then took the money and forwarded it Hillary’s campaign. The agreement allowed donations 130 times greater than what an individual could have independently given to Hillary’s campaign. The DNC actively encouraged state parties to use the loophole to raise money for Hillary ahead of the primaries.

2. Limited Voting Locations

During Obama’s time in the White House the Democratic Party has charged the GOP with attempting to disenfranchise communities of color through new voter ID laws. So imagine the shock and disillusionment thousands of Democrats experienced when they realized they could not vote in the primaries due to a shortage of voting locations. DNC primary voters were forced to endure excessively long lines because officials drastically reduced the number of voting locations. The result of less voting locations was reduced voter turnout and many of the voters that did turnout were unable to weather hours of waiting to cast their ballots. Sanders supporters rightfully have concerns that the reduction in voting locations was meant to limit an influx of new (Bernie) voters.

3. The Purge

We all know Bernie Sanders is from Brooklyn. It just so happens that during the New York Democratic primary thousands of voters from Brooklyn were purged from the voter records and were denied the right to vote. The debacle was reported by PBS, and the New York Times.

4. Trading Places

Among the many irregularities of the 2016 DNC primaries was the report from several Democrats that their party affiliation was mysteriously switched, preventing them from participating in the Democratic primary.

5. The DNC Chair’s With Her

If you GOOGLE “conflict of interest” you’re bound to find an image of Debbie Wasserman Schultz. There were many progressives who criticized the way that Wasserman Schultz handled the DNC primaries. Sanders supporters argued that the Democratic Party was openly favoring Hillary throughout the process. Many assert that this was directly related to the DNC Chair’s former position as Co-Chair for Hillary’s 2008 campaign.

6. CNN’s Close Ties To Clinton

Another reason that Berners claim the 2016 primary was unfair is because CNN the major network covering the race and hosting the DNC debates has strong ties to the Clinton Camp. One of Clinton’s major contributors during the race has been Time Warner the parent company for CNN, who has the responsibility to impartially report the news.

7. False Media

Seth Abramson wrote a piece in The Huffington Post that discusses the reasons Sanders supporters are upset with media coverage of the primaries. Abramson gives 12 great reasons that Sanders supporters are unsettled by the mainstream media’s coverage of the primary. In general Berners have been upset at the fact that throughout the race media outlets have ignored polls that showed Sanders polling better than Clinton and Trump and instead ran with the narrative that a Clinton nomination was inevitable and that Sanders had no realistic chance of winning.

8. Biased Super-Delegates

Super Delegates are party elites that have the right to vote to nominate any candidate that is running for President. Many Sanders supporters are upset because Super-delegates not only pledged support for Hillary Clinton before the primaries began but because many insisted that they would still vote for Hillary regardless of primary results in their State.

9. The Notorious Clinton’s

There is nothing far fetched about thinking the Clinton’s would go to any length to secure a win. The Atlantic has published a piece that covers many of the corruption scandals that Hillary and Bill Clinton have been involved in. The Clinton’s have been jointly and independently investigated for corruption on a number of occasions.

The Whitewater scandal was an ordeal that involved both Bill and Hillary. While time does not permit a full discussion in this article you can find a summary by The Washington Post here. The case focuses primarily on accusations of illegal loans, fraud, and questionable land deals.

TravelGate was a scandal that began in 1993 when the Clinton administration fired 7 members of the White House travel office. Accusations were made that the Clinton’s fired the employees to make room for their friends.

The most recent allegations against the Clinton Family involve the operations of the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton’s Private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State. The Clinton Foundation has been accused of improperly steering money to private companies owned by friends, appointing a major donor to a government post, and gross mismanagement of funds raised for disaster relief in Haiti.

The email controversy is a result of Hillary’s actions as Secretary of State. Hillary Clinton set up a private email server for herself and top aides at her home instead of using the state department’s server. There are concerns that classified information was sent over the server. Furthermore Clinton and her former aides failed/refused to turn over all emails from the server when federal investigators requested them.

In addition to the above mentioned scandals there are reports that Bill Clinton illegally campaigned at voting sites.

10. Irregularities Always Favored Hillary’s Campaign

Most people are willing to concede that there is a reasonable amount of coincidence or chance in the world. However every time there were complaints of voter irregularities (Voter Purges in New York, Reduced Polling Locations: Puerto Rico, and Arizona, Uncounted Votes in California) the results always favored Hillary Clinton. There are just too many instances of irregularities in the 2016 primary to claim that they are the result of chance. Either the Democratic party is currently being run by incompetent imbeciles with decades of experience or it is a party so steeped in cronyism that it would rather disenfranchise its own party members than see someone other than their preferred candidate in office. Either way the current DNC regime does not deserve the trust, loyalty, or respect of the modern progressive voter. Citizens asked the Democratic party to help fix America’s broken system, instead it appears the DNC chose to fix the election.
