Bernie fans attacked everyone, they ostracized every conceivable ally they may of had within the Democratic Party.

Bernie also refused to talk about black specific issues outside of climate control

Bernie wanted to do too much. I believe in a lot of what he says but to try and do it all At once wasn’t happening. He should of kept it to 1 or 2 things.

Bernie refused to work with the DNC. If the ppl who run the process don’t believe you’ll work with them they won’t help you. He could of been Trump, but didn’t do what Trump did. Trump surrounded himself with GOP leaders of influence very quickly in order to work within the confines of the Republican Party.

1. Several erroneous campaign decision's such as promising and large differences and declaring war on obama years which Democrats loved.
2. Refusal to speak to black voters, campaign rhetoric was focused on whites and illegals
3. Declared WAR on his own party and obama years which still to me makes no sense.
4. Being completely unlikable in congress refusal to come out of his shell.
5. Social media team and surrogate's alienated a lot of voters and even his own progressive ally.

He wasn't Obama's vice president.

edit: and the idea the Bernie's supporters are any more "problematic" than supporters of other candidates isn't substantiated by any facts but the media doesn't necessarily operate based on facts but rather according to whatever agenda they're trying to push.

He made himself the face of the progressive movement alone which made it easier to defeat him.

Ran an insurgency campaign without strong polling from Republicans and Democrats.

Set up a no win situation why running in the Dem primary while denouncing the Dems.

Needed to be defining Socialism in the 4 years from the 2016 election on local issues and local candidates instead of the New Green Deal and Medicare4all.
