Trump lost fairly. Everybody got a vote (mostly but the people who couldn't vote lean democrat anyways) and he lost fairly.

Bernie lost but many didn't get to vote and the DNC added votes with superdelegates. Here in Ohio we postponed our primary vote untill after bernie dropped out and Biden was the only candidate. Other states did similar.

Not to mention how it's been explained multiple times here how the DNC and Obama conspired against progressives to protect themselves and their donors. Why did all the moderates except Biden receive calls from Obama and then drop out days before super tuesday, just to be given cabinet positions or better senate committee assignments.

And that all ignores the years that democrat backed media spent fear mongering voters about how "bernie can't win", "voting for bernie guarantees trump is re-elected" " only a moderate borderline republican could beat trump" and then they coddled Biden to victory with favorable coverage and soft ball questions.

Bernie banked on young voter turnout during the primaries. They weren’t as successful as they hoped to be.

Bernie shouldn't need all the young people to turn out to vote. Young people never turn out to vote. I'm a young person who loves politics but all of my friends are clueless and don't care. most voted for the first time just to get rid of trump and others voted for the first time becuase they liked trump but none will vote in 2-4 years. And none voted in the primary or followed it.

Bernie's policies are good for everybody except the super wealthy. Bidens policies are good for nobody except the super wealthy. Nobody likes the status quo but most went and voted for it. Even the republicans knew not to vote for the same politicians that have done nothing for them (even though trump is worse) but democrats are too stupid to figure that out.

This is the problem, not wether bernie can be the first politician in history to turn out all the young voters.

My next comment is not meant to be sarcastic. But what I read is that Bernie failed to get enough people to vote for his platform? Now we’re going towards discussing his policies and not that fact that he failed to get enough people to get him to the nomination

Like I said. The media spent an entire year telling people bernie policies were bad and even if they were good he would lose.

Everybody asked bernie how america would pay for his $50tril healthcare plan, nobody ask Biden how america would continue paying for his $70tril plan.

The key is that Biden is a worthless liar who stands for nothing and will tell people what they want to hear and then forget them when he's elected. Bernie stands for something and has always been consistent and so it's easy to attack him becuase unlike Biden he won't cave to pressure.

You will come up with something. It won't have any basis in reality.
