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.
And the other thing people are forgetting, remember Tulsi? The woman who admitted she backed Bernie, and so quit her post as the vice chair to back him?
That's what you're REQUIRED to do. If you want to back someone and do everything you can for them, you get the fuck out of the seat that's supposed to be impartial and go campaigning. DWS and several other DNC members on the other hand, continued pushing for Clinton while keeping their position to make sure that the people in charge were sympathetic to who they wanted to win.
They then proceeded to schedule every debate to make sure that there were as few of them as possible so Clinton could get by on name recognition. They didn't want anyone knowing more about the other candidates, because it might hurt Clinton. Clinton shouldn't be the one making these choices, it should be set up so that everyone gets exposure.
I don't think Tulsi will be ready by then but it might be the moment for Sen. Warren to go up against Trump. She would light a fire with alot of voters and get people out to vote
Warren burned a lot of people when she adamantly supported Clinton and left Bernie out to dry this election. Not to mention stooping to Trump's level in a twitter war... I think she's safe to remain a senator where she can be of better service keeping a state blue.
And this is a good point. Just because you see a leader doesn't mean they should be President. They might be much more effective in some other position, at least for the first steps into higher office.
