    Are you claiming that wanting to make antidemocratic rules more democratic is authoritarian? Who wanted to ignore the popular vote? And how, exactly, does the comment you replied to suggest that Bernie was entitled to the nomination? The voters are entitled to get the candidate they want.

      Changing the rules after the fact is indeed anti democratic. I’m referring to all the talk during the primaries of ignoring the voters and pushing for delegates to vote for Bernie instead. Or course this wasn’t endorsed by Bernie. Rhetoric was rampant online at the time, fueled by Bernie refusing to quit after mathematically eliminated.

      The voters are entitled to get the candidate they want, and in 2016 that was Hillary Clinton.
