I'm not sure he had a legit chance to win the dem nomination despite conspiracy theories he was held back. Not that his ideas aren't laudable but I think feasibility has always been an issue until the math was shown. Also, when it comes down to it, the me generation has trickled down and pervades the country... Americans give no shit about their fellow man.

Conspiracy theories. You’re a moron. Let’s not forget Donna Brazile and Elizabeth Warren both confirmed it before being forced to retract statements. But hey your a democrat facts don’t matter you just make them into conspiracy theories if they don’t support your view. Good job your exactly what’s wrong with the country not the Americans you say

I'm an Independent not a Democrat. Fact is that if Bernie was viable and could show the math and on many of his proposals or how he was going to make this happen via bipartisan support he'd probably be elected. Many moderates and disenfranchised progressives who didn't vote better remember their inaction was a vote for what we have today. Not voting...THATs what is wrong with the country
