      The DNC didn’t want a progressive or “grassroots“ candidate. No matter how many people voted for Bernie in the primaries. The DNC was set on Clinton and Biden.

        Bernie literally got fewer votes. It absolutely does matter how many people vote for him?

          During the primaries in 2016 Wassermann-Schultz literally said that they don’t want a grassroots candidate. They were always set on Clinton no matter what, and they caiboshed Bernie wherever they could. I wonder how many votes he lost because of it. I guess we’ll never know.
