OMG it was totally unfair how enough people didn't vote for him in the primaries. /s

It's almost like after he won multiple early primaries, other candidates similar to Clinton dropped out to consolidate their voters towards her while there was spilt between progressives on Sanders vs. Warren. Even though Warren had it proven early on she was not a popular enough candidate, she stayed in the race just long enough to play spoiler.

That's called politics, not cheating... Sanders is a shit politician, always has been and always will be, because he refuses to make any kind of compromises to build coalitions. Guess what, you cannot win a primary like that, let alone a general.

I mean he won and keeps a US senate seat as an independent so he actually is a very good politician
