All these mishaps benefited Hillary

And yet some ignore the obvious,

Being those purged are overwhelmingly people of color (her base), and caucuses are straight up voter suppression, and those being suppressed are overwhelmingly Hillz base.

And still, she has millions of more votes.

Like "Rollerball" or the "Hunger Games", to go with our subsistence rations.

At least we don't have to worry about voting anymore.
