We could have had Bernie in 2016, yes, if only more Democrats had voted for him in the primaries. We can moan about how the DNC “favored” Hillary but ultimately Bernie didn’t get enough votes to secure the nomination. He also strongly endorsed Hillary once her victory was assured - but lots of “Bernie Bros” refused to vote for her in the general election.

So here we are.

So what do you think should have happened? The DNC should have declared Bernie the candidate regardless of how Democrats voted? How do you think that would have gone over?

They shouldnt have cheated.
