    No, Bernie is one of the reasons that we’re in this shit hole.

    He ran against a Democrat and pulled votes from Clinton/Biden.

    He ran as an independent but changed his registration to run on the democratic ticket.

    The article you linked even says so.

    The irony is that Sanders was a prime beneficiary of this bias, not a victim of it. The losers were potential candidates like Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Warren, or Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper — and, thus, Democratic primary voters, who ended up with few choices in 2016

      Uhhhh no. He didn’t pull any votes because he wasn’t even on the ticket during the general election and he endorsed Hillary. Also, considering how unpopular Hillary was she should have picked Bernie as her VP. Picking anti union, milked toste Tim Kain was a joke.
