Hillary didnt lose because she wasnt far enough left. She lost because she’s unlikeable, couldnt generate enthusiasm like Obama could and because not enough people understood the danger Trump posed. The polls had her at around a 90% chance of winning and a lot of people didnt vote because “why bother? We have it in the bag anyway and I dont like her.” Bernie’s problem OTOH is that even if he got it, which was exceedingly unlikely DNC meddling or not, congress would have to be left enough not to completely derail and water down most of the things he wanted to do. Which there was a zero percent chance of. He’s not a dictator. He has to actually work with like minded congress critters to get most things done.
