Spare me. Hillary believed that Obama rigged the 2008 primaries because "Obama forces flooded the caucuses with ineligible voters". I think Dems worry about election rigging more than anyone else because they've got an excellent track record of doing it...to each other and everyone else. Hillary must have learned a lot from Obama in 2008, because she and Debbie set about screwing Bernie from the start.

Your hero Krugman was whining about it too.

Most of your Democrat buddies think the election was rigged:

Oh, sorry. Forgot that you're not a Democrat.

And, lest you forget:

How many Dems still blather on about the 2001 election being "stolen". Al Gore conceded, then withdrew his concession. He then tried to have the vote recounted only in Democrat-heavy Florida counties, and sued to stop other ballots from being recounted. Even after a number of of media outlets concluded that George W. Bush had indeed won more votes in Florida, Democrats continued to claim the election had been “stolen” by the Supreme Court and Bush was an illegitimate president.

Then you have John Kerry who still thinks that the Bush rigged the voting machines in 2004.

So, Dems have a rich tradition of whining about election outcomes. But again, I think its because they do it to themselves so often that they just regard it was part of the landscape. The left was talking among themselves and openly concerned about it months before the election. In the words of the folks at HuffPo:

Whether Sanders can overcome the sandbagging of his campaign by his own party’s committee chair remains to be seen. But should Clinton eventually take the nomination, for many Democrats, her victory will be seen as tainted by that political corruption.

And...

The danger facing Hillary Clinton, though, is that in this election, the greater evil may be perceived to be the continuation of the corrupt political system. Not only will a significant portion of Democratic and progressive voters feel the game is rigged and stay home on Election Day, but those independents and moderates who already see Clinton as untrustworthy and calculating will have their prejudices confirmed.

So, in short Finn, you're projecting....
