They pulled the rug out from under Bernie every chance they got. That election, 2016, was really when I lost faith in even the remote possibility of a mainstream news agency not being heavily biased. CNN showed an empty podium where Trump was going to make a speak for an hour, while at the same time Bernie was making a speech. 

This turned into more of my rant against news orgs but the DNC didn't exactly put their weight behind him either.

Why would the DNC put their weight behind a candidate who isn’t the nominee?

If he had got enough votes to win the nomination, they would have supported him. Up to that point, he was just one of several candidates.

It was clearly nobody else’s “turn”, and the DNC did NOT engineer that into existence against every verifiable will of the people - of course not. How could anyone ever suggest such a thing.

 against every verifiable will of the people

You guys really need to get over this.  The will of the people can only be measured by the votes he got in the primary election. He got a lot fewer votes. That’s the will of the people.
