I don't agree at all with the idea that "bernie would have won" provides a positive direction for the party. "Bernie lost because the DNC favored Hillary" is the same thing as "Hillary lost because of Russian hackers". It happened, but it's not the reason Bernie lost and to focus on that is to handwave away the bigger, internal reasons for his loss. After all, there's no way a new guy with less name recognition running to the left of Hillary could have beat her in a primary, right???

Progressives can sell leftist populism to whites but they need to work on connecting with nonwhite Dems to get anywhere on a national level. Bernie failed to do this which is why he "could have won" but lost to hillary loving clinton instead

Most of the people I see make the argument "Bernie would have won" just mean that all the complaints people had about HRCs viability in the general should have been taken seriously and that she's effectively the worst of both worlds. She's not that left AND is hard to elect. I don't think it's an actual process based issue with just the DNC as an institution that had him lose and I think anyone is crazy to think he would have won the primary if the DNC was semi-fair instead of its lovely current state and they really need to challenge themselves that their current platform of incrementalism is not only ineffective but uninspiring.

remember her PEPE speech

I called that the freedom fries of memes and lost an incalculable amount of respect from my peers.

I was RIGHT though, it was a bunch of noise about something meaningless that ultimately made everyone involved look stupid. I just happened to be involved.

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.
