Bernie tried and now that I think about it... This whole election mess is the DNC's fault.

He would have won

Is that why he lost the popular vote by 12 points?

Because now people realize that he was better than Hillary, too late America
I still don't think Bernie would have won, too socialist

cos he shouldve been running & dragging trump into the ground tonight but Hilary cheated & now look what happened

He wouldn't have won. His comments about Castro would've made Florida and automatic loss. The attacks on his religion would've motivated as much racist white voters. His "socialist" policies would've pushed old voters aka actual voters to Trump.

You mean like what happened... right now?

That's after the way the media handled this election cycle. They should have given all the nominees a fair shake, instead of pretending Bernie didn't exist until he nearly tied her in Iowa and trounced her in NH. Even then, most of the media coverage was about how he couldn't win, about him (an "honorary woman") being sexist because he questioned how qualified a warhawk surrounded by scandal would be, and vague coverage of his "race problem", as if to paint him as somehow racist, when it was simply POC more familiar with Clinton. Not to mention calling every debate as a "win" in Hillary's favor. Oh, and associating him with sexism with "Bernie Bros" a la "Obama Boys"... The fact that he caught up as much as he did, with favorable media coverage pretty much entirely in the form of online media says a lot about what he could've done if they didn't shower Clinton (a faulty candidate) and the republican primary with attention.

The latter is exactly why the blame lies entirely on the media, and the DNC which could have changed the narrative. All this attention they gave to republicans from way back in the Trump/Cruz/Rubio/Bush/Kasich/Carson/Fiorina days gave republicans so much time to get motivated and mobilized. They tried to act like a primary on the democratic side wasn't even going on, instead of giving some attention to Sanders/O'Malley/Webb/whatever and seeing what the American people would decide. The democratic party is tone-deaf, and they won't take anything meaningful away from this, besides pushing Hillary even harder in 2020, and being even more condescending and un-inclusive to new young voters.

He's the Queen of Pop.

We ****ing told them. This election was about people expressing their anger against the establishment. Bernie was MORE anti establishment than Trump. But dumb**** dems decided to go with the BIGGEST POLITICAL INSIDER ever, Hillary Clinton.

Bernie had the white working class vote in the bag. Trump would be SHOOK right now. UGHH

He should have got it

I would be shocked if they tried using Hillary again. Even with nearly every institution on her side, she still couldn't pull it off. Not to mention all the stigma she has with the emails and corruption.

TAW.

Because Democratic party's rules about registration to vote kinda sucks. Not letting independents to vote etc.

Anyway in the end karma got DNC and Hillary and if they try her again in 2020 it would show they didn't get anything from this result

they will never run Hillary again

!!!!!

and everyone wanted to pretend like Bernie was this villain trying to rob Hillary of her rightful role as nominee since she was more qualified
we TOLD y'all being the most qualified does not mean you should be nominee
but you guys just HAD to delude yourselves into thinking Hillary would "slay" donald, stanning for her like you would one of the pop girls

Friendly reminder that Hillary had millions more votes than Sanders, and the winner of the primary is chosen by votes not "optics". The DNC didnt choose Hillary. The people did, and don't even come at me with talk of "rigged". She had the supermajority, so superdelegates were irrelevant.

If Sanders wanted to win, he should have campaigned better. Stop making excuses for his sad excuse of a run. Just like Hillary failed to court his base, he failed to court minorities and those who weren't on the far left. He had his own share of problems.

Frankly the fact that the primaries were so bitter alienated a lot of the Democratic core constituency, so ironically, Sanders helped Trump by aiding in the destruction of Clinton.

Don't put him on a pedestal. He's an unwitting accomplice.

On the other hand, good ****ing job on destroying Sanders' movement and his legacy. I was actually really happy that he was potentially going to be a part of Hillary's cabinet.

Now that's been pissed away because Democratic general voters are trash. I feel just as bad for Sanders as I do for Hillary.

Here's hoping that you take this misplaced bitterness and direct it towards revitalizing the push for Washington starting NOW.

Stop bitching and start working.
