How the DNC Might Be Rigging the Election for Bernie Sanders
I believe that the Democratic National Convention (DNC) is rigging the election for Bernie Sanders due to multiple events that have taken place. The first is the Iowa caucus that took place a little over two weeks ago. The Iowa Caucuses are electoral events for members of the Democratic and Republican parties in the U.S. state of Iowa.
So what is the DNC? The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is the governing body for the United States Democratic Party. The committee coordinates strategy to support Democratic Party candidates throughout the country for local, state, and national office.
I believe that the Iowa caucus attempted to get Bernie out of the race. Multiple sources say Bernie was in first when Buttigieg suddenly went from fourth place to tied with Sanders. The DNC failed to release the caucus results for several days. The caucuses felt like they had holes and nothing felt official. Many people think the caucus was delayed in order to rig it against Bernie.
Iowa Primary~
Democrats:
*Final Results* As of 2/10/20 12:30p.m. Bernie Sanders with 24.7%// Pete Buttigieg 21.3%// Elizabeth Warren 18.5// Joe Biden 14.9%// Amy Klobuchar 12.7%// Andrew Yang 5.1%//
The second way Bernie is getting screwed is back in 2016 Bernie had the plurality (the number of votes cast for a candidate who receives more than any other but does not receive an absolute majority) vote during the Deomcratic convention but the DNC used superdelegates (an unelected delegate who is free to support any candidate for the presidential nomination at the party’s national convention) to vote Bernie out of the Race. Once more, one can see the DNC going against Bernie to make sure he loses.
With New Hampshire being Bernie’s backdoor to his home state Vermont it is kind of crazy to see how close Pete closed in with the final results of the New Hampshire Caucus. From the information listed above, one can determine why the New Hampshire Caucus was a bit off with the way it turned out, as the DNC clearly wants Bernie to lose: they are once more trying to rig the caucuses against Bernie so he has a lower chance of getting voted for in other states.
Thoughts based on this Caucus theory relates to how Bernie’s policies do relate in some way to equality to all in financial aspects; this almost correlates to the idea of socialism and that is where the DNC realized that Bernie has no chance to win against Trump. So, in the end, this makes sense for the DNC to try to use super delegates to push Bernie out of the Race.
Even though, it seems like that won’t happen due to the rising popularity of Bernie in recent months since he has said he is re-running for office, according this source realclearpolitics.com.
