Yah very true, but the Bernie thing shows how disconnected the top of the democratic food chain is from the next generation of liberal voters. Education and the environment are two sticking points Bernie nailed. He deserved better and now the democratic base knows the best candidate on their own ticket can't be nominated. Shenanigans I say.

I think it’s still an oversimplification that it’s just Bernie. On the ground his ideas work, but he doesn’t. That’s a big problem that Bernie stans still won’t acknowledge.

When you're the POTUS you can make any idea happen. Ever hear about going to the moon or universal healthcare. Oversimplified or can't admit to it, Hillary didn't even have a concession speech, talk about feeling entitled.

But to be fair I first never thought it was entirely Bernie but rather Hillary's lack of attention in the Rust Belt and Coal States. She also did not appeal to women as some may think she should. There are a lot of reasons, but coming back to the Bernie thing, that really split the Democratic party in two, which you can see now with defund police movements.
