    2016 was the year that people demanded a populist leader. The DNC sabotaged Bernie, which lead to low D voter turnout and the RNC bent at the knee at Trump’s threats to run as a third party.

      How did the DNC sabotage Bernie? Bernie was allowed in the Primary despite not even belonging to the party, and primary voters chose Hillary Clinton by a huge margin.

          If I remember right, super delegates were the main reason Bernie lost the nomination.

          That is 100% false. Unfortunately Bernie never got a majority of the ELECTED delegates.
