Super delegates spoke

She won without any superdelegates. That's not to say that the DNC didn't try to get people to vote for her, but she still won in regular delegates.

Sure, and the repeated narrative that she was winning by miles due to super delegates anyway had nothing to do with that outcome.

she would have won anyway if you take super delegates out of the equation.

But for 98% of the time in the primary, the news outlets would report delegate counts that included the superdelegates, like Clinton is leading Sanders 1,000 to 25, and not explain that the SDs don't count until the convention. It was very misleading to any voter who wasn't a politics junkie. Even if you kinda like someone, it looks completely hopeless when the media puts out misleading numbers like that. It definitely had an impact on Sanders ability to gain momentum all through the primary.

Irrelevant. If you like Sanders you voted for Sanders. The fact is more people voted for Clinton.

Seems more and more likely that she's actually going to succeed in cheating her way to the White House.
