Primary was explicitly rigged. General was more rigged in the sense of “I backed my opponent and have the vast majority of the technocratic elite operating as if my win is a given”. Capital always has a thumb on the scale, but I don’t mean that in the Trumpian sense of “the illegals are resurrecting their grandmas to do mail-in ballot stuffing”
I mean the democrats rigged the election via gerrymandering etc in their areas but the republicans did too in the areas they control so neither one could be said to be a victim of a rigged election so much as two groups frantically trying to rig an election harder than the other.
American politicians don't ever even bother campaigning outside their base they just try and manipulate the electoral system to leverage the base they have more effectively by drawing up districts and making it harder for the wrong people to vote
How did Hillary rig the general election?
