I don't understand the point you are making. If people beat globalization, if voters want anti-establishment more than establishment, shouldn't Bernie have won?
- botexpert 10y agoWell, it was quite clear that DNC turned against Bernie from the start of the campaign for the primaries.
- efaref 10y agoIf the DNC hadn't rigged the primary, Bernie would have beaten Trump in a landslide.
- tom_mellior 10y agoFrom what I understand (which is based on Clay Shirky's Twitter feed, make of that what you will) Bernie had zero appeal to black voters, who are an essential demographic for the Democrats. He was very popular in a young, white bubble, which is also important, but still a bubble.
- denom 10y agoBernie almost won. In some ways the DNC presented a larger challenge to Bernie than the RNC did for Trump.
