    Yeah, so. The DNC shenanigans were still overblown. Hillary partnered with the DNC in raising money for both her campaign and the DNC which gave her some control of the monies. Sanders was offered the same opportunity and declined so he didn't have that same control. I think the DNC itself was biased toward Hillary, and the timing of the debates for instance favored her, but I'm not sure how much that effected the outcome. Sanders did far better than anyone ever expected with no corporate backing, but Hillary had a lot of longstanding support, so I'm not sure you can blame his loss on the DNC.
    It's amazing how you can rewrite history in your head. I bet the memory of your entire past is filled with fantasy. You probably tell yourself how you won every single debate on Theologyweb and were honored for your brilliance.

    I was watching an episode of "hoarders" a few days ago, and there was this woman who had an entire mansion filled with trash but she couldn't see it. To her is was all valuable items that she needed for her business. They had to clear it out because she lost the house in foreclosure. She refused to believe that too and insisted that the courts were wrong and she was going to get her house back. People kept trying to tell her that she had to go. They had the city and sheriff there and were moving her stuff out and asking her where she wanted to put the stuff she wanted to keep. She kept claiming she had warehouses rented and was going to move the stuff there. The stuff sat on the street until the city hauled it away while she sat there in shock. It was very sad.

    You remind me of her. Living in a complete fantasy world where no matter what anyone tells you or shows you, all you see is what you want to. All you remember is what you want to.

    sad.
