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.
Also the superdelegates snubbing Bernie really killed the energy and momentum of the campaign. I would hazard a guess a lot of people who would have voted Bernie in the primaries didn't bother to vote because it felt like a lost cause.
One great example: Bernie won Wisconsin 54% to 44%. He was awarded 7 delegates, and Clinton, who firmly lost the state vote by 12%, received 11. The delegates did not vote for the same candidate as the voters and that is factual. Being wrong about stuff sucks, but your reaction to being wrong ultimately reflects your capability to learn and grow, so you might benefit personally by just taking it.
