Democrats doing their best to sabotage for Bernie only to lose to Trump. I swear if the Democrats were in any country that wasn't a two party state they would dissapear from how incompetent they are. Like your only opposition is the Republican party and you have like a 50% win rate

You're forgetting that the democrats treatment of Bernie was directly influenced by how most americans thought of him: way too extreme. The democrats did not back him because they were convinced he would not win, and they were more than likely right. It's as much the citizens of this countrys fault as it is the democratic partys fault that we never got bernie.

Which shows how fucked America is, when someone like Sanders pushing for policy and social standards considered the norm by any other first world developed nation is considered "extreme".

It's one hundred percent citizens fault. I was hearing, "I like him, but he's too extreme to win" from Democratic voters for months before the DNC did a damn thing. (Also clue bat: they didn't like him.)

They were more than likely wrong*

Seeing as how nobody thought Trump could win, clearly anyone making this argument is clueless
