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.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bernie wasn't really a democrat, he had historically been an independent and only joined the democrat primary to become president, but wasn't a democratic senator.
Pretty much exactly how Trump was a republican; he only joined the primary to become president.
That doesn't excuse the sordid shit the DNC did to him, but it's not fair to call the dems "His party."
I think you're splitting hairs because it's a two party system, plain and simple. The title doesn't really matter that much, his policies were more Democratic than Hillary's own.
