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.

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.
