There are just a lot of dumb rules to prevent people like Sanders from becoming President or even a Congress person. Arizona and Nevada were a disaster for obvious reasons.
But New York is just the worst. Sanders won all but 4 counties out of many, at least 40. But she did the best in the more popular counties. The thing that is ridiculous, is Independents had to register as a democrat to vote for him back in October 2015 when New York didn't even vote until what, April 2016?
Okay, rules are rules, whatever. The problem is that the first debate didn't even air until after the New York deadline. Sanders and his policies were unknown to many and sadly they were unable to vote. If the New York deadline was not so ridiculous, he would have won New York easily and his campaign would have had SOOOO much more momentum heading into other states.
It is just ridiculous that the majority of American's are registered as Independent did not have a chance to vote. You literally should be able to vote for whomever you think is best, Republican or Democrat without these deadlines. It is just obstructing democracy and making it easy for people like Clinton to stomp their competition.

But I agree with everything in the post after the original post. Perfectly said.
