    The polls at the time showed him doing better against Trump than Hillary, given that he would bring out the progressive vote along with the usual dem vote. Which is why him getting railroaded out by the “her turn” group was such a blatant travesty. And why I blame them for Trump getting elected.

      People forget that there was a sizable “Bernie or Trump” crowd as well. Essentially people that just want ANY change from the permanent status-quo we’ve had for the last 30-40 years.

        There were a couple of people who loudly said that before the election, but afterwards it turned out to be a negligible number of people who actually meant it.

      … the same progressive votes that got him to be the nominee? Wait… He won my state. Doesn’t mean shit if others weren’t on board.

        I think the UN should get called in to monitor the Den voting process. They might be slightly worse than Nigeria.
