This post of yours is dependent on actually believing that Hillary won the popular vote THIS year.
It's true that we won't know this for some time, but some of Hillary's supporters are making the claim. So I ask them why they didn't complain when the nomination was given undemocratically (their words) to Obama.
First of all, you are comparing a primary race against a presidential election.
Second, not sure active this forum was in 2008 or if we even have a whole lot of political stuff on record, but I can assure you that there were probably plenty of unhappy people in 2008 over Obama's ultimate nomination over Clinton.

So?

The losers in an election are always unhappy, there is nothing new about this. But how many make excuse for the loss by calling the process undemocratic and demand that it be "reformed"?
Some Hillary supporters, now that she lost in a landslide, now say the popular vote should decide election. Many many claims that not using popular vote is undemocratic.
In 2008 Hillary won the popular vote in the Dem Primary against Obama.
Hillary Clinton - 17,857,501 - 48.04%
Barack Obama - 17,584,692 - 47.31%
Yet super delegates gave it to Obama.
So why no complaints from Democrats then?
I see a double standard at play.
What say you?
I say, "Poor deflection, Kitty You can do better than that."
the FACT is that Hillary clearly won the popular vote NATION WIDE, yet Obama got the nomination of delegates and super delegates
So, basically, she had done to her in 2008 what she did to Bernie in 2016.
Isn't Karma a b|tch
