You think the party elects presidents? It doesn't. People do, not politicians or parties. Your myopic view is what's wrong with American elections, particularly Democrats: the idea that a party can win by virtue of appeal to the machine.

Bernie would have won in 2016 if HRC, Wasserman-Schultz, Donna Brasil, and the DNC hadn't subverted his nomination. Again in 2020 if the DNC, Kamala, and the other candidates hadn't dropped out in favor of Biden against Sanders.

The idea that any candidate is owed the presidency is fucked. So is your misunderstanding of the problem.

America just voted for an old dude who can't string two sentences together, and can barely walk unaided. Do you really think the "too old" argument holds water?

Bernie has a lot more energy than Trump and Biden combined, tbh.

He doesnt get support because he actually supports the working class. The fundamental thing us left folks have to accept is the democratic party simply isnt a left wing party. The left doesnt exist anymore in the US.

The parties are right wing conservatives called Democrats vs fascist psychopaths that call themselves Conservatives.

The reality simply is that the left is the right, and the right isnt even on the chart anymore. The actual left doesnt even have representation at this point.

Voters have to start getting a lot louder about this, in more obnoxious ways. Protesting has to happen, at minimum.

No point in arguing with the Bernie Bros. It's analogous to the MAGA cult at this point, the blind devotion. The only difference was Trump was able to win his primaries.
