Hillary got more votes than Bernie did. I like Bernie too, but he just wasn’t popular enough. Specifically with Black voters in the South, which is the base of the Democratic Party.
I’m old enough to remember those primaries. Every news channel was talking 24/7 how Hilary has the primaries in the bag because all the superdelegates already pledged to vote for her. For months Bernie was getting more votes in every election but the media was saying that Hilary is winning. So yes, Hilary was more popular. She was more popular because party leadership supported her from day 1 and media kept telling everyone she’s more popular.
Speaking of people not voting for Bernie - he’s very popular with independents, who would have been unable to vote for him in a closed primary if they weren’t registered as Democrats.
… really? You’re really not sure? Sure, he best Trump…in 2020. In 2024 he was doing so badly that he had to be replaced before the election even began. You don’t remember this?
how about we have primaries and find out this time
Let me tell you a tale of old man Sanders and how a certain party rigs those primaries to fuck him over.

The race was decided long before primaries were over. At that point people likely didn’t even come out to vote for Bernie

We had primaries and it gave us Joe fucking Biden.
Yeah but what, are we going to say “to hell with democratic representation, people just have bad taste in presidents!”
Ok, and he beat Trump? Not sure what your point is here.
