Okay, so they gave us Clinton by a double-digit percentage margin. That makes it worse, not better.
The DNC didn’t give us that. The people did. Winkly’s claim was that Sanders was the people’s choice. The votes show that Clinton was actually the people’s choice, by a wide margin.
For example, my primary ballot only had two options: “Biden” and “uncommitted”.
The point remains that he was the people’s choice. In races where he ran against only one other option like yours, the margin of victory was even larger. The DNC did not bar anybody from running in that primary.
Who do you claim was the people’s choice, if not the candidate who got the most votes?

Which “the people” are you talking about? Sanders had much more support with “the people” (i.e. voters in general), but was unable to get that support from “the people” in the core of the Democratic Party (i.e. the folks who actually decide who the nominee is going to be).
Never let the Democrats argue that they vote based upon pragmatism when shit like this happens. The pragmatic choice would’ve been Sanders.

The primary voters. They’re not “the core of the Democratic Party.” They’re just regular voters. The people, if you will. The DNC decides who the nominee will be based on the votes of the people in the primaries. The people overwhelmingly voted for Clinton.
It wasn’t even a majority of Democratic voters. Only 14% of them voted in the primary. It was a very, very small number of people who selected Clinton.
If you wanted to vote for Sanders in the general election, you should have convinced other people to vote for Sanders in the primary. That’s how primaries work.
Look, I’m more progressive than you are. I just happen to also know how things work.

Where did I say anything about the DNC?

The ones who cared, voted. The ones who didn’t care, didn’t vote. That’s how voting works.
If they wanted my vote, they should’ve nominated Bernie. That’s how voting works.
