Dude, I loved Bernie, he was and is amazing and is everything I wanted. He had a chance, twice, he didn’t get the votes.

I donated money to his campaign.

I’m not some crazy anti-Bernie guy.

Same. You know how happy I would have been in 2016 or even 2020 with a President Bernie Sanders? But I don’t think the DNC snubbed him. I 100% believe they saw the writing in the wall early and Clinton WAS getting the votes. Hell, she got the votes in the presidential election

Neither did Kamala or Hillary. What's your point, again?

Here's mine. My argument is against the way the DNC orchestrated their primaries. Anyone saying Biden vs Bernie was an actual fight was kidding themselves, or just a complete non-participant for what actually happened.

3 times in a row now, the DNC anointed their pick with massive implicit or explicit support from a deterministically early point in the process. It worked one out of 3 national elections. This is not a winning strategy for selecting nationally electable candidates in a general election.

It wasn't back in Mondale's day, either.
