    they didn’t let him win the primary. they had their chosen candidate, and they weren’t going to let an actual progressive win.

          Tell me more about how results that aligned with every major poll were totally unexpected. Every polling organization in the country conspired against Bernie.

          I voted for Bernie. I marched for Bernie, back when I had two good legs. I donated and campaigned for Bernie. I would’ve loved it if Bernie won.

          But he didn’t. Because the people who showed up to vote clung to the idea that a ‘moderate’ was a better shot in the general election.
