The one where Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders 16,917,853 (55.2%) to 13,210,550 (43.1%)? Certainly better than the 2020 primaries that Biden won 19 million to Bernie 9 million with Elizabeth Warren 2 million. 2024 was their incumbent year so not worth mentioning.

Why are you counting votes after his campaign was suspended?

DNC primaries are run in such an idiotic manner, Bernie had won multiple states where Biden hadn't even been top 3, then there's some back room dealing where every other candidate except the other semi progressive sounding one drops out to manufacture a Biden win in one state and they declare him the winner. Bernie suspends his campaign...All before half the country even had a chance to voice their opinion.

We let the same 12 states pick the candidate every fucking time. It's asinine. It was an obvious attempt to rig things. And then people like you tout these inflated numbers where most of the country only had one actual active candidate running when they voted.
