Proof? Vaguely pointing to sanders (for whom I voted) does not mean anything -- which is why Bernie Sanders continues to caucus with Democrats, including but not limited to the likes of Mamdani, AOC, etc.
There is a very detailed write up floating around somewhere I'll link it if I find it, in the meantire https://edition.cnn.com/2016/06/06/politics/superdelegates-hillary-clinton-nomination/index.html
I believe she won a majority of pledged delegates independent of superdelegates -- however, this I do agree with how fucked up that was as someone who campaigned for Sanders that year.
But further; a) Why has Sanders continued with Democrats then (even running again in 2020), and b) it's worth noting the rules on superdelegates changed after 2016. So, progress
The primaries were rigged, I can't find the write-up sry

I mean he continued with the dems for the obvious reason I should think. He is part of the establishment, certainly a zionist, and would prefer the cushy place he carved out for himself within the dem machinery as the lightning rod for leftist deviations to the grueling work of grassroots organizing. Imagine if bernie actually went rogue, what he would have to give up. This was the path he chose way back in the 90s and he isn't gonna give up soon.

If you want a deepdive into bernie and the 2016 campaign the ask on hexbear, a lot of people that organized for bernie and got disillusioned and radicalised in particular by the 2016 rigging are on there. They can likely give you a week-by-week run down of the campaign lol. Or how the dem system is rigged for the establishment.
Bernie, an Establishment Zionist!?
hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha
Got my new tag for you, thanks lol
I'll just end it here to cover my bases: Slava Ukraini, fuck Xi, fuck Putin, fuck the Ayatollah and IRGC, fuck the Saudis, and yes of course fuck Bibi and Trump.
That's what I get for engaging in good faith I guess ๐ should have stuck with my first assessment of bluemaga
