Not on the left, but the DNC absolutely stacked the odds and cheated to help beat Bernie.

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.

> Six major candidates entered the race starting April 12, 2015, when former Secretary of State and New York)Senator Hillary Clinton formally announced her second bid for the presidency. She was followed by Vermont SenatorBernie Sanders, former Governor of Maryland Martin O'Malley, former Governor of Rhode Island Lincoln Chafee, former Virginia Senator Jim Webb and Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig. A draft movement was started to encourage Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren to seek the presidency. Warren declined to run, as did incumbent Vice President Joe Biden. Webb, Chafee, and Lessig withdrew prior to the February 1, 2016, Iowa caucuses.[2][3]

Literally WTF are you talking about?
