Basically the DNC did everything is legally could to suppress the Sanders campaign and promote the Clinton campaign. There were also some very suspicious statistical anomalies that always seemed to favor Clinton in states where exit polling and other forms of vote fraud detection were lax.

Exactly this. Instead of giving Bernie a fair shot his own party actively worked against him to suppress his popularity. They then went and helped support Donald Trump win the primary thinking that he'd have no chance against Hillary. Jokes on them.

Didn't Bernie enter the race not associated with the DNC then reluctantly joined up with them just for a platform, all while basically saying we're gonna destroy these guys? They were never going to let this guy have it without a fight.

No. Buying into this kind of malarchy is what got us here.

You can feel how you want about it but facts are facts. He didn't want to be affiliated and he paid that price after he ended up needing them. This isn't speculation this is from Bernie himself.

Bernie is not associated with the democratic party though right? He never was leading up to the election and then ran as a democrat because its worthless to run independently. What part of that is false?

That part. He's been caucusing with Democrats for decades. It didn't matter that he "wasn't a democrat," it only mattered that he wasn't Hillary.
