Does anyone think the DNC rigged the primaries? [View all]

Back in '16 or now? I ask this because I seem to encounter a LOT of people who will swear that '16 was rigged, and they're doing it again right now.

I feel like this is Russian deza at work. I think it is another way they are trying to divide and conquer.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
