Did any Bernie people complain about open primaries before the voters rejected him?
It's predictable that they complain after the fact, but before they realizef which format would result in their candidate losing not quite as badly, had they made up their minds? Or is this purely sore loserhood?
I'm pretty sure they had no idea, and if open primaries had favored Hillary, they'd be complaining that all primaries should be closed. After all, they don't seem to have any problem with caucuses, which are by far the least democratic.
Can you imagine the wails of Bernie people if the caucuses had favored Hillary instead of Bernie? Close your eyes for a second and picture it. Yeah. Serious wailing.
