For me it was how the democratic establishment used all their energy on undermining the Bernie campaigns of 2016 and 2020. They litterally would rather have fascist president than seeing change.
Don't forgot Zoran Mamdani, they would let Bloomberg split the vote and not endorse a mayoral candidate. They'd let a Trump republican win before an avowed socialist.
My GF at time was a true-blue Democrat who volunteered for her party during Bernie's campaign, she was there for primaries. I told her there was NO WAY that the Ds would allow him to run for office.
After, she came home very upset, just devastated with what she had seen. She never told me what happened, she refused to talk to me about it. We were over shortly after
She stopped volunteering.
I encourage everyone to volunteer and see how things are done in local politics, it's a real eye opener
Those "D"s are called primary voters.
Anyone who helped Trump win is not a Bernie supporter.

Right, the "source" being an unproven claim from disgruntled former employee Donna Brazile who ran directly to Fox News to spite CNN.
That REALLY proves that the DNC somehow forced so many more people to vote for Sanders' opponents.
Delusional, cult-like behavior.
Why don't you point out where Bernie says he was cheated?
Ain't no way the ruling elite can risk any peasants actually getting the idea of taxing billionaires and holding them accountable in other ways.
In the short term with a first past the post system, harm reduction in voting D is unfortunately the way to go, but let's not kid ourselves and think they actually want real change.
Republicans cut taxes for billionaires, because we let them take over the government.
Such bullshit. Bernie ran campaigns and lost. Apparently that makes Biden a "fascist".
Not saying Biden was a fascist, but he was a worse candidate because he was carried up by billionaire money alone, and that gave us a worse position to win the 2020 election. Also known as risking the second term of fascist Trump.
The reason Bernie lost was because of a coordinated effort to undermine Bernie. He challenged the billionaire class with living wages, infrastructure spending and climate action. He was built on the grounds of donations avaraging 27 dollars, owned by people, not might.
He was up against 15ish bland super PAC funded candidates, also known as bootlickers. These bootlickers would eventually come together together with Obama and lick the boots of Biden right before super tuesday. Allowing establishment newspapers to spike up Biden at a pivotal moment.
I dont think you should defend a bankrupt nomination process, thats all.
Dude, Debbie Wasserman Shultz literally had to resign from the DNC chair position because of leaked emails where she was in correspondence with other DNC officials deriding the Sanders campaign and strategizing on how to undermine him and advanced Clinton's campaign.
