The night of the New York Primary, Bernie Sanders was at Penn State giving a speech. When the event ended and he found out he had been trounced by Hillary Clinton, his reaction spoke volumes. He didn't go back to a microphone and give a concession speech. He didn't ask his entourage of reporters to send out a message of good will to other Democrats. Instead, he left his press corps stranded in a Pennsylvania airport at 10 pm at night and flew back home to Vermont where he only spoke to local reporters, still not giving a message of any sort that would prove him to be a gracious loser.
Nope. He's just a loser. A sore loser.
@NaphiSoc @SenSanders he went home to VT. To rest. Hillary danced across NY over the last 2 days. In heels. #ImWithHer #ThanksObama— SCOTUSISPRIORITY (@teko241) April 20, 2016
Two New Rules for 2016: 1) Every election you lose is rigged. 2) Anyone who bothered to learn the rules is trying to steal your rights.— Glenn Thrush (@GlennThrush) April 21, 2016
And then the conspiracy theories began, but they've been there all along. The election was "rigged" by Hillary and the "establishment." The election was stolen. Something was wrong. How could Bernie have huge crowds at his speeches, but so few votes? Don't crowds of unregistered voters always equal votes? And isn't it unfair that Independents needed to register, like, last October or something? Rigged! Disenfranchised! Voter Suppression!!!
As if that wasn't bad enough, Bernie's manager, Jeff Weaver, immediately went on MSNBC and made an arse of himself trying to explain some vague way for Bernie to win in spite of logic and math. It was quite a spectacle.

Sanders has run a stunningly strong campaign fueled by passionate supporters. But raising $$ stating you have path to nomination is fraud.— David Plouffe (@davidplouffe) April 20, 2016

Anger and Denial
Hillary supporters - what did you win tonight? More of the same? The status quo? I don't understand people who cheer for the establishment.— Cenk Uygur (@cenkuygur) April 20, 2016
You're sorely misguided if u think we, the movement behind Bernie, have any intention on letting up. Do u not yet get what we're fighting 4?— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) April 20, 2016
Sorry Bernie lost. He got 43% of the 1.6M allowed to vote. The 3.2M independents, though, couldn't vote. Bernie usually gets 65-70% of them.— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) April 20, 2016
May I ask why the word disenfranchised is being used to describe voters who missed a deadline? #PrimaryDay— Yukio Strachan (@boldandworthy) April 20, 2016

Clearly, history's most venerable agents of social change have been peanut-gallery pundits who try to browbeat movement leaders into silence— David Sirota (@davidsirota) April 21, 2016
I wonder if during the age of Tammany Hall there were straight-faced pundits cheerily touting the honesty & integrity of NY elections.— David Sirota (@davidsirota) April 20, 2016

Still Bernie or Bust!
@RealDealHilary besides, what will she do about #Independents like myself that will not vote for the #Tramp of WallSt n the general election— Neh-ee (@ee_neh) April 20, 2016
Welp - there's a petition to urge #Bernie to run as an Independent from the "Never Hillary" folks https://t.co/O055sbQRUJ— Jeanne K. (@SnarkAmendment) April 20, 2016
@Amy_Siskind the way you conduct yourself just makes #BernieOrBust more adamant on standing firm. Arrogance of camp HRC will be the downfall— Robert (@BlueberryGreenT) April 20, 2016

I've come to believe that Sanders want out (and Devine agrees), but Jeff Weaver is keeping him in, and keeping him negative.— Amy Siskind (@Amy_Siskind) April 20, 2016
Are closed primaries only voter suppression if in a Northern state cuz none of y'all were whining when Florida voted. #PrimaryDay— Aღanda (@GrnEyedMandy) April 19, 2016
Having to register Dem to vote in a Dem primary is not suppression. Having to be 85 and find your birth cert to get voter ID is.— Liberal Librarian (@Lib_Librarian) April 19, 2016
Bernie folk in NY can't figure out how to even vote for their candidate, but POC in the South are low info. Let that marinate.— Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) April 19, 2016

@docrocktex26 @Maggyw519 'RIGGED!" Impossible that Dem party could want Dem voters!— j.r. (@pourquoinon) April 19, 2016
White hipsters who hate the Dem party and were too stoned to register to vote, really use the phrase "voter suppression". LMAO. #PrimaryDay— BWDemocratic Whore (@theonlyadult) April 19, 2016
@theonlyadult hillarybots don't give a shit about free and fair elections. They don't even care that their candidate is bought and paid for— Matthew Lussier (@Mlussier86) April 19, 2016
Jeff Weaver outspent Hilary's campaign by 2 to 1 (on mostly negative ads) in NY and lost by 16 points. That's throwing $$ down the toilet!— Amy Siskind (@Amy_Siskind) April 20, 2016
