If you really think that Clinton didn't get the votes she got fairly, you're living in a bubble. Sanders supporters have this problem of forgetting that women and minorities exist.

(I can't stand the Clintons, but I don't think they cheated)
- The recent release of hacked documents from the DNC show that the primaries were not set up to be a fair competition from the start. - The rules are specifically set up in a number of states (New York is a prime example) to disenfranchise any new Democratic Party members from being able to vote. - Thousands of registered voters were removed from the voters roll. There is even a case where a lifelong Democrat running for a congressional seat on a Democratic ticket was removed. - Media coverage made it appear that Clinton was in the lead before any voting even took place. That coverage has been shown to have been orchestrated (at least at the start) by the DNC. - Funds raised in the DNC's name were disproportionately funnelled to the Clinton campaign. - Voting stations were closed down in huge numbers in some states and territories (Puerto Rico and California being prime a examples)
It's going to look pretty ridiculous if the DNC is ever audited, or has someone more credible than Guccifer2.0 hack and release their documents.
I.e. 50% of sanders' voters were women. You'll get similar proportional percentages of minorities.
Simpson's paradox creates the perception that sanders' voters are composed of mostly white males. It's untrue.
