    Outside of the DNC fuckery around Bernie’s 2016 run, he still didn’t win enough primaries.

    Yes, be mad at the DNC for that, but Bernie wasn’t a shoo-in by any stretch - he literally didn’t win enough votes from Democrats in the primaries.

      I forgot which primary, but conservative democrats formed a coalition where everyone but Biden withdrew, forcing Bernie to split the vote with another progressive candidate .
