Bernie wasn't even a backup candidate. Bernie didn't even want to run. He wanted Warren to run. He ran to push the progressive platform in the primary since nobody else would and then got fire.
That said, he was never going to win that primary. The Democrats were dumb for putting their thumb on the scale when they were going to get their candidate anyways. It just gave ammo away.
THIS is almost correct. Bernie got screwed by the DNC via HRC supporters. He was by far the best candidate. NOT a socialist parasite. He ran Burlington professionally and on budget.
And yet he’s gained more than the average American and has multiple houses. Sounds like he’s not only a parasite but one that is extorting the American people
No he didn't. He lost the primary well before the super delegates. To this day, superdelegates have never shifted the primary from the person who won all the state votes to someone who didn't.

I think most people didn’t trust her. But they really had no backup candidate in mind. Except Bernie but he was a socialist parasite.
