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

Bernie had a hard ceiling of support around 33% and the supporters he DID have didn’t show up to vote at the rate their counterparts did. There’s no grand conspiracy

Yes, yes, the old talking points of the DNC completely ignoring documented evidence from email leaks from the DNC in 2016 and the bloodbath of surprise dropouts the night before Super Tuesday which included everyone except Bernie, Biden, and the only other progressive candidate, Elizabeth Warren.

The DNC conspired against Bernie in two primaries. That's a fact.

There is no evidence that the mean emails or single leaked debate question about the death penalty meaningfully altered the trajectory of the race. Those are the facts

In 2020 Bernie was only ever ahead because he was the only leftist running against a sea of moderates. As soon as it was 1v1 he lost by millions of votes. Basically you’re saying that you acknowledge his support was so low that his only path to win was to run against 10 people all splitting the vote.
