A choice? The topic is about fair elections.

Do you agree with the notion that the DNC was rigged in Hillary Clinton's favor?
Elizabeth Warren: Yes
Brazile sums it up near the end: “If the fight had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead. This was not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party’s integrity.”
Now don't get me wrong, I voted for Hillary. I think the country would have done well as much as it did in Bill's years.
However, it was unethical, and I think it hurt her. She lost the support of many sanders supporters, and it is quite possible, that could have fucked her and the rest of us.
I think this falls in line with what many people think about her. She will do anything to win, and thinks she deserves it. Never mind letting the voters decide. And I think you can see it now with some of statements that have been made on her behalf over the last few days. I have always thought she was a little out of touch. I think she would have made a great president, but I can't vote her in all by myself. She needs to win those hearts and minds of those Bernie supporters too. Now we have Hillary 4.0, and as the comments go on to say, she is now going to try to reach out to those Bernie supporters. The GFY liberal response to that was not very welcoming. Not that people hate her, they just don't think politically she is going to capture the people she really needs to win.
