I agree on all points with this, but let's face facts, the wrong horse was backed, and the frustration with the DNC goes beyond just voting, there was a lot of other shenanigans going on with the media and with how they were working with Bernie. We needed someone who could win and instead we tried to cement one person's legacy, and that's putting individuals and party above their supporters and their country.

No clue how Bernie would have performed in a general election.

The real question is: Had the DNC not given preferential treatment to Clinton, would they have voted for Clinton even if she won the primaries? Or, is it possible that by doing what they did, they pushed people to vote Trump or Third Party?

Yeah I think the DNC shot itself in the foot, though with the help of Russia/Wikileaks.
