I voted for Bernie in both primaries. To this day I believe he would have beaten trump in 2016. That being said DNC fuckery or not... Not enough young people came out and voted for him in the primaries. So like it or not... that doesn't seem to be an example of this.
Again I fully agree on the whole we need the dems to actually send someone who understands the needs of millenials and earlier generations. Bernie did that better than anyone before him, but at the end of the day we need better grass roots systems to get people out to vote in the primary if we can get another candidate like Bernie (can say its safe to say bernie is past the point of being able to run for president.
