He counted on the DNC to back him. They didn't, as he's not a Democrat:francis:
He counted on young voters to support him. They didn't, because they never do. Only Obama caught that lightning.:francis:
He's proposing radical change which scares away old people and the comfortable, AKA suburban white women.:francis:
His plans call for high taxes. No one likes taxes:francis:
He didn't address black issues enough:francis:

Anti-Hilary sentiment propped him up to a station he didn't belong. Thankfully he has moved the overton window some so it could benefit us in the long run.

Black people just don't fucck with him especially in the south. Why? Who knows but for whatever reason they just will not get behind him. Some of his policies poll well but they clearly have a problem with the messenger.

Nina Turner, Brianna,etc all of them are complete garbage. The patreon left who grift in his name hurt his message and turn an energized base into a clown show that will be mocked for years.

I think there is a segment of progressives that are just more comfortable whiny and complaining about their station as oppose to actively trying to govern/make shyt better.

I kept saying it.

the quiet majority wanted blood after 2016.

Bernie tried to gaslight people about his role in trying to sink Hillary instead of uniting against Trump.

Not to mention bullshyt tweets like this the DAY before the election

-Not addressing how rampant voter suppression is in the areas like college campuses where he could have gotten more votes
This narrative needs to stop now.

Poll taxes, Literacy test, dogs and water hoses are voter suppression.

A long line is annoying and in some cases unnecessary but it’s not suppression when you have weeks and months to early vote by mail or in person.

If you can’t outdo an 80 year old with a Rascal scooter by buying a stamp or googling your election office, these old people aren’t going to respect your voting power.

Young people put more energy into avoiding Netflix spoilers than just voting ain’t it.

Bernie got fukked by his own party, the media, and large corporations.

Whoever says it's because he had no 'black agenda' or 'his ideas were too ambitious' are disingenuous because first no other serious candidate had a 'black agenda', southern blacks voted for biden because he goes to church and was Obama's token white guy. Second, you vote for a candidate because you like their agenda. You give them a chance at the presidency and let them shoot their shot. If they miss badly you come back and say okay this wasn't smart or you could simply put pressure on your politicians to lean more left to get things that benefit us. If people had this mentality of not voting for candidates with ambitious ideas we'd probably still be in chains.

Y'all typing like Bernie is some dumb fukk

No one loses a big time game and come for the repeat and willingly plays worse. It was always a money grab and he played y'all

Money grab ? You do realize when the campaign closes down, that cash is just going into his campaign for US Senate, right?

And he still has a large email list, larger than any candidate except Biden cause he has Obama's list.

What went wrong?

He lost.

I have a question though. Was his strategy really to remain at 30% and hope the moderates split the vote so he would win?
By all indications, Yes

and if Super Tuesday was on Sunday instead, Bernie has a 150 delegate lead right now :wow:

There’s a point embedded in your bullshyt post. A lot of people are still re-running 2016. Even if it meant a weaker opponent against Trump. AT&T & Comcast we’re attacked by Bernie, so it definitely followed that the cable news networks they own helped that along
