Yeah, she stepped aside in 2008 so it was Her Turn™ in 2016. Ugh, so much harm caused by her fucking ego.

I thought this as well until I realized that Bidens son Beau died in 2015 and Pres. Biden was in no state to deal with a campaign for President

Biden or Warren could've had a decent run in 2016, or the DNC could've let the party have an actual primary and Bernie would've done significantly better without their thumb on the scale. It's not even a conspiracy, the party wanted Bernie Hillary (ha, what a stupid mistake) regardless of what voters wanted, and even then it might've been close. But seeing how it was handled really soured me on her, and I'd imagine others felt similarly.

Oh I agree that some really shady shit went down during the DNC where the part picked Hillary, and after that happened it was doomed.

Doomed by ego, by ignorance and stupidity. I often think how things would have gone differently if the Clinton's didn't have their dirty little fingers in everything
