Also from the link:

The irony is that Sanders was a prime beneficiary of this bias, not a victim of it.

The original claim is that sanders got screwed by the DNC and Clinton conspiring against him, something the emails proved. The article here says he benefited from her and the DNC actions, the exact opposite of being screwed by her and the DNC.

If we are arguing that they're problems with the nominating process and how the DNC runs things, what this article is actually addressing, then yes im 100% on board. We can start by getting rid of super delegates and implement something like star voting.

But to read that article and actually see it is as confirming the belief that sanders got screwed by Clinton and the DNC, is just mind boggling to me.

Literally, multiple times, the source explicitly contradicts the point...and are still you are trying to maintain that it supports your point?
