The DNC is the only reason you're not currently enjoying a second-term Sanders and a sane Supreme Court.
Both Hillary and Bernie are closer to the country as a whole and more likely to pull moderates, who you need to win if you want to actually win a national election.
The internet has allowed leftists to delude themselves into thinking the only people that need to be appealed to is them.
They fundamentally do not understand the kinds of people that make up this country. I'd love if we were a left leaning population. We aren't. Continually lying to ourselves about why Bernie didn't win is a type of paralyzing ignorance that only looks more and more absurd as the years go on.
Do a poll asking Americans their political alignment and the balance will be center right. Poll them again on specific issues and the average end up well to the left of the Democratic party. For a prime example, look at how all the abortion referendums have turned out in red states.
If you poll Americans on issues and not on politicians, the average American is politically closer to Bernie than to Biden. Bernie is more centrist than Biden is.
In case you have not noticed Bernie is not on the ballot. He is supporting Joe Biden. If you support Bernie, you will vote for Joe Biden, not some off the wall third party candidate.
Also Biden's policies resonate with Democrats AND Republicans. Our oligarch owned MSM doesn't do ANY favors for Joe Biden.
Yeah, I really hope Biden wins. I don't want my American partners to be genocided.
CNN and mainstream media has deluded liberals into believing Hillary is actually a viable candidate.
It's messianic thinking for people who think they're smarter than most Christians.
