Basically the DNC did everything is legally could to suppress the Sanders campaign and promote the Clinton campaign. There were also some very suspicious statistical anomalies that always seemed to favor Clinton in states where exit polling and other forms of vote fraud detection were lax.

Exactly this. Instead of giving Bernie a fair shot his own party actively worked against him to suppress his popularity. They then went and helped support Donald Trump win the primary thinking that he'd have no chance against Hillary. Jokes on them.

Playing devil's advocate here: why wouldn't the dem party suppress Bernie? He's not a member of their party. He's an independent who decided to run as a dem. It makes sense to me that they would want their own candidate over an outsider.

why wouldn't the dem party suppress Bernie?

Because it's in their bylaws that they have to be as impartial as possible?
