The Democrats, as in the democratic voters, did want him. The DNC was willing to let trump win to avoid a Democratic Socialist from becoming president.
That became painfully apparent in 2019 when Bernie won the first three primaries and the party rallied around the fifth least-popular candidate: Joe Biden, only slightly more popular than Mike Bloomberg.
And they handed out favors to the others in order to drop out and endorse this shitty man who did nothing meaningful to stop fascism, thereby making Trump’s fascist candidacy inevitable.
I have at least one friend who won’t vote anymore because of that. He’d rather the US get Trump and despair than give the DNC the satisfaction of another vote. I’ve tried to convince him.
Bernie was never going to happen ever. Even the democrats didn’t want him.
