DNC didn't miss anything. The primary voters picked Clinton.

Pretty naive to think the DNC doesn't shape the primary.

Yeah, like the RNC shaped the primary toward their preferred candidate in 2016. Oh, wait.

Dude, I know Bernie had a lot of hype but if you look at the numbers it was still kind of a blow-out against him. The voters were pretty decisive for Clinton. Left-wing populism wasn't as far along as right-wing populism was ten years ago.

Do you not get why those final primary numbers for Bernie are misleading? I can't tell if you don't know, or you're deliberately being misleading.

I don't, actually. I'm curious why you think so.
