It's well known..

Inside Hillary Clinton’s Secret Takeover of the DNC

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/02/clinton-brazile-hacks-2016-215774/

By Donna Brazile, the former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee.

Yes. It’s well known that Hillary worked with Debbie Wasserman Schultz to keep Bernie out of the spotlight. Her goal was to force a win of the primary, not give the election to Trump.

It’s the ethical responsibility of the convention, not the candidate, to ensure an impartial primary. It’s a candidate’s job to self-advocate. It’s the convention’s job to keep it fair and balanced.

Hillary was a disappointment. Debbie was a failure.

It was the Hillary campaign's decision to help elevate Trump to the nomination and give him as much media exposure as possible, thinking that it would make it easy for her to win.

It was also them that ran one of the worst presidential campaigns in history, including telling people not to vote for her and neglecting to campaign in key swing states out of pure arrogant hubris.

Inescapable conclusion to anyone who isn't a Hillary stan or otherwise a blind Dem party loyalist:

Hillary and her campaign are more culpable for Trump infesting the white house than anyone else outside of the far right echo chamber and foreign agents.

So you reject the verified conspiracy of Debbie Wasserman Schultz intentionally shielding Bernie from the media prior to the primary, as well as the proof of exceptionally low Democratic voter turnout, in favor of a theory that claims the Clintons wanted a Russian conspiring real estate fraud to be President over Hillary.

Do you get enough sun in your rabbit hole?

How many millions of votes did Bernie lose the primary to Clinton by? Five?

I remember turning out for him, only to find reality drowned out by the online noise (read: misogyny) that still reverberates to this day. At the polling places? Crickets. The American public reaped what it sowed, and watching these conspiracy artists attempt to re-write history is little more than them climbing back into the hamster wheel. Vote.

Thank you for your sane and rational response. Between Ozma, VikingHippie, and Anticolonialist, I feel like the only orderly working the night shift at the asylum.
