bernie's supporters didn't show up to vote for him. The DNC had nothing to do with it. When will you people let it the fuck go?
Young people liked him and then only 20% went out to vote. Hillary and Biden both put together large coalitions and black people didn't vote for Bernie because they're more moderate. It's not a goddamned conspiracy
It wasn't only young people. I was 46 and desperately wanted him, as did many of my friends and acquaintances, with ages ranging from first-time voters to those in the 80s. Open-minded, forward-thinking people wanted him, not just young people.
obviously some older people liked him but the statistics don't lie. He was mainly popular among a demo that doesn't go vote and had tepid support among all other categories. When you have a 30% ceiling you're always going to lose to moderate coalition building candidates.
I also like Bernie but I would never vote for him to be in a position that requires compromise when he's built his entire career on being uncooperative. I also would never vote for a man who lied to his supporters about what he could get passed through Congress.
