What did Democrats do wrong to Bernie Sanders in the 2020 primaries?

Even if you don't believe Elizabeth Warren's claim, that hardly equates to "the Democratic Party as a whole" mistreating Bernie Sanders, much less a "mafia mentality." That's just a candidate lying about a rival's position, aka the thing that happens over and over again in every election ever.

Frankly, if the party really wanted to play dirty they just wouldn't have let Sanders run for the Democratic nomination in the first place, since he's not a member.

In 2016 Bernie got 36% of the votes in the New Jersey. Only one elected politician in New Jersey endorsed him that year and he's out of office now. Doesn't add up.

You can also look into the lawsuit that happened in Florida after 2016. Where their defence was that they're a private organization and don't need to have fair primaries. Not that there was no collusion, just that they can if they want to.

I'm assuming that you're referring to John Wisniewski, who is out of office because he ran for governor and lost (without Bernie Sanders' endorsement, I'd add.) Hardly a massive conspiracy there.

I also don't see how that 2016 lawsuit -- which was dismissed with prejudice -- proves any kind of party-wide attack against Bernie's 2020 campaign.

I get that you oppose the Democratic party, which is fair enough, but this is a pretty thin case. The majority rules.

I'm a registered Democrat and vote in every primary, I just want them to do better.

If you want to believe there is no collusion, nepotism or wrongdoing in the Democratic party, then go ahead I guess.
