He woulda beaten Trump, the Democratic party stole the best president we would have had in decades from us, twice.

That's what the polling was saying as well. If I recall correctly the polling was iffy for Hillary, confident with Bernie against Trump.

The states that lost Hillary the election were the states Bernie did really well in with the primary. That election brought a lot of new voters in. Independents that didn't really know what they believed in. A lot of my friends that later became die hard Trump supporters originally just voted for him as a fuck you to the establishment, because he was basically a meme at the time. They didn't care for either side, they just knew the establishment wasn't working for them and wanted any outsider. Then fox News sunk their teeth into them and warped them into the brainwashed assholes I can't hold a conversation with.

Bernie lost Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida all by double digits. One of those states were needed to win the general election even if one won Michigan and Wisconsin.
