    Did they sabotage him?

    I don’t know, mate. You can say that all the rules and such were followed, but just like any rigged system, playing by the rules doesn’t mean that things are appropriate. The idea of superdelegates is fucked up. The way we let certain states ‘spoil’ the results and create inertia by voting at different times is fucked up. First past the post voting is fucked up.

      You remove all the super delegates, she still crushes him. I don’t like them, but pointing to them as a reason he lost makes zero sense.

      And one of the early states to vote is NH and he did amazing there, which is where the whole “he had a chance” came from. If anything, the inertia thing you point to helped him.
