they didn't let him win the primary. they had their chosen candidate, and they weren't going to let an actual progressive win.

It always has to be a conspiracy. Fuck's sake.

Tell me more about how results that aligned with every major poll were totally unexpected. Every polling organization in the country conspired against Bernie.

I voted for Bernie. I marched for Bernie, back when I had two good legs. I donated and campaigned for Bernie. I would've loved it if Bernie won.

But he didn't. Because the people who showed up to vote clung to the idea that a 'moderate' was a better shot in the general election.
