Sounds like a lot of deals between Democrats and Republicans. Two deeply undemocratic parties who rig their own primary elections make deals in private to get votes for their shared corporate agenda. Seems legit.
Americans really love to twist themselves in knots to excuse their own laziness with respect to politics. "Oh look at how dysfunctional the government is, but there's nothing we can do about it."
2016 pretty clearly made it clear that at the end of the day, its the people of the US who hold power in their country.
How exactly wasn't it rigged?
I'm not sure I understand your argument here.
Mate the odds at that time were ridiculous. Don't think people in the betting industry don't know this stuff.
