Sure. And by sure I mean "If you're going to be obtuse why even bother. . ."
Hey, i'm not the one whining that Sanders was not given a fair chance. He was. Let's go point by point:
He was a long shot not because he didn't have a chance, but because from day one there was only one presumptive nominee. In a fair fight things could have been quite different. When you start primary season HUNDREDS of delegates in the hole, with little early opportunity to get your message to the actual voters and not party insiders it's hard to not end up bitter.
Hillary Clinton finished a very close second to Obama in 08, it stands to reason that she would have a headstart with the party. She got no head start with votes. Nothing was done to hinder Sanders. (This is where you need to provide proof btw) Also, which is it, do the Supers count at the start, or at the end, or at the convention or when do they count in the Sanders camp? You seem to like to count them selectively when it's convenient for you.
Sanders definitely made a lot of mistakes (he'll regret that email comment for a long time), but you compound it with the Democratic party doing Clinton's dirty work for her (John Lewis essentially claiming on national television that Sanders had no interest in fighting for minority rights is easily one of the most shitty things I've seen in a campaign) and the media consistently framing Clinton's campaign as "inevitable" and Sanders as a "spoiler" - what did people expect.
Sanders made his own bed with African Americans, his plan from the beginning was to appeal to White Working Class voters the largest electorate, in his own words. He went to arguably the whitest state he could to be mayor and Senator. It's no surprise people were skeptical, and he did little to persuade them other than his standard stump speech. Then he even had the gall to use surrogate Cornel "Obama is a niggerized president" West, and wonder why he can't appeal to them.
At the end of the day Sanders took the fight to Clinton and actually gave people hope that they might actually have a voice in the political process. He finishes double digits ahead of Donald Trump in a general election matchup (a matchup I think he's only lost once in polling) while Hillary Clinton has seen the entirety of her lead against Trump evaporate.
Because Clinton would not attack him from the right out of fear of pissing off his supporters, Republicans want to face him in the election and would not attack him, the Media wanted a close race so they were soft on him.
The most damning evidence is why Republicans never attacked him to any degree worth mentioning, ever stop to think why that might be?
So yes, my original argument is sound.
Sanders is a poor candidate, who did little to appeal to anyone but white people. His loss had nothing to do with mistreatment from the DNC.
