The DNC's role was not small lol
You can say that he wouldn't have won the presidential election if you want but he was absolutely pushed out of the nomination in favor of a more-corporate candidate.
Getting over half the country to vote for someone as out of touch and unlikeable as Hilary Clinton is proof that the most Democrats would have voted for anything to avoid Trump. And this November was further proof that moving to the center does not win elections.
Bernie had momentum and was VERY popular with the youth. Clinton's ignorance of the working class was the subject of memes...
Yeah, that's the easy narrative for people to hate Democrats with but I don't think it's true. Furthermore, it seems like most of the people who promote that idea either weren't of voting age at the time or aren't US voters.
I'd be interested to see it as a post where we can slug it out. Start with the news reports and then make your case as to why you think that. We'll see if there's anything to learn.
By who? When? What did he say about it?
You don't have the actual answers to that. But if you think you do - make a post, let's see it.
