Trump won bc he messaged outside the window, socialists don't win bc they never get promoted as viable, your just prepetuating the lie. Polling showed Bernie doing better vr trump. Everyone not a committed racist who voted trump did so bc he spoke about doing something novel, Bernie did better on that exact messaging.
And no, the DNC worked extremely hard to with a lot of impact to harm Bernie.
Bernie convinced me to change my registration from Republican to Democrat. I couldn't agree more with your message and I really wish Bernie would have had a fair shot in the primary. I believe he would have won in the general election and the country would have benefit from him.
Polling consistently showed Clinton doing better than Trump too. Before election night, odds from the best polling experts around put Trump at around a 20% chance of winning. In fact, before the Comey report, it was more like 95% that Clinton would win.
The problem is that people think odds are destiny. Yes, the odds-on favorite does usually win. But not always.
