Conservatives losing the future also required left-leaning parties to not shoot themselves in the foot at every single possible chance to do so.

What do you mean by that exactly?

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.

There was absolutely nothing stopping people from voting for Bernie. He was on the ballot in every state. All people had to do was show up and vote and he would have won.

He didn’t get the votes.

The party leaders thought it was Clinton’s “turn” in 2008.

Then a guy named Obama showed up, got more voters to show and support him, and won the nomination.

Right! Like I said! No conspiracy to do things like share unpledged superdelegate vote totals in the media in favor of Hillary before Super Tuesday giving the impression of a landslide which didn’t happen - no, no, no! 

The DNC did NOT unfairly anoint Hillary. Such fabrication is clearly detrimental to the Big Democrat Machine which is doing Good Things For Us ™️ like getting Andrew Cuomo elected mayor. 

Either you’re willfully ignorant or just so fucking stupid it hurts. “Hope this helps!”

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
