Sanders didn’t have the votes to command a majority in the Democratic primaries; only was ahead because the centrists were fragmented. Actually getting somebody like him means doing the outreach and coalition building which enables that, not just snarking about the past
Pretty sure the DNC didn’t run like 7 different progressives against him while bolstering the campaigns of those progressives because Bernie failed to command a majority. If he was the only progressive that ran then he would have beaten Hillary easy.
Bernie Sanders had more individual contributions to his campaign than any other canidate in US history, he had massive grassroot support.
He clearly had the majority vote, the DNC even admitted to cheating and diluting his votes after Shultz’s and Hillary’s emails leaked.
This kind of revisionism is part of why people are becoming disillusioned with Neoliberals. Neoliberalism will no longer win elections in the United States. You have the option going forward to get with the program or get out of the way.
He had about 1/3 of Democratic primary voters going for him. In a highly fractured field, this was giving him a majority of delegates in 2020. He hasn’t ever been in a position to actually win, despite all the conspiracy-mongering.
The makeup of the DNC has also changed significantly over time.
You can continue to live in your reality where politicians are owed votes for existing, and a 45% popular vote despite 8 opposition canidates being ran against you somehow translates to 1/3rd of the vote.
The leftists will work to try to find a way out of this mess you are insistant in keeping us all trapped in.
Or what’s actually needed is understanding the scale of change in public opinion that’s needed to actually get somebody like Sanders elected as President.
Bernie had the option to ignore the orders of the DNC and ursurp the Duopoly. He didn’t do it.
Kamala had the option to ignore the orders of the DNC and ursurp the Duopoly. She didn’t do it.
Barrack had the option to ignore the orders of the DNC and ursurp the Duopoly. He didn’t do it.
Biden had the option to ignore the orders of the DNC and ursurp the Duopoly. He didn’t do it.
AOC currently has the option to ignore the orders of the DNC and ursurp the Duopoly, she’s not doing it.
There’s no person who is allowed on TV who is interested in the necessary defiance it takes to end the Duopoly.

Public opinion opposes all things establishment, to the point of preferring trump
