The Republican party got remade because trumpists showed up and outvoted the party elites. No reason it can't happen for the Left except for laziness and apathy.
If all the progressives furious about the state of affairs now had shown up for Sanders in 2016, I doubt we'd be in this hellish timeline. Sadly, he needed the young progressive vote to show up.
The superdelegates weren't bound to Clinton. If Sanders had kept winning the vote they'd be hard pressed to over-ride the people.
I'm not saying you didn't vote for Bernie, I'm saying not enough people did. This blaming superdelegates is nonsense. Democracy is dificult, people die just to make a protest vote but somehow the fact that Clinton had a lead in uncommitted delegates is too much of a burden? Give me a break. If you want a revolution but can't actually get the majority of leftist voters to the polls, well, that's on us.
