Bernie lost at the ballot box ultimately. The reason he couldn’t make any backroom deals is because he spent his time attacking the Democratic Party the entire primary both times. I don’t understand why people expected them to shake his hand as he continuously spat in theirs.
I am a fan of Bernie. I volunteered for one of his campaigns. But it is always surprising to me how people forget the game he played. He wanted to be a revolutionary, to be a massive wind of change and take down the Democrat establishment. He described them as corrupt and awful at every single campaign stop. What the hell did people expect other than the Democrat establishment being upset about that? He’s not even a Democrat, he’s an independent who joined their party for the purpose of trying to get the nomination. Fair play, and obviously the only realistic way he had a shot at being president, but he is by every definition an outsider to the party - which we loved about him! But why on earth would they warmly embrace him?
