    Honestly, even if the DNC was completely even-handed in '16, I still think he would’ve lost. In '20, it was only some clever politiking (which, I must emphasize, is not illegitimate and quite literally part of the job) and Warren doing whatever the fuck she thought she was doing that sank him.

      The evidence shows the opposite of what you think. All polling at all times showed bernie beating trump by a much bigger margin than hillary.

      And the country was itching for someone who would shake up the status quo. Hillary was the epitome of status quo, while trump and bernie were very much the opposite.

      All evidence shows bernie would’ve done very well against trump.
