Sanders lost by over 1000 delegates or around ~3,700,000 out of ~30,000,000 total voters.
He lost pretty heavily in most populous states.

I'm aware of the results. Are you aware of super delegates and how they skewed the reporting? Many people were discouraged from even voting because the polls showed Hillary with a commanding lead before the public voting even began. The DNC pushed Hillary through because they felt it was "her turn". Idk about anyone else but I felt completely disenfranchised by their actions during those primaries.
They also fought pretty hard against giving Bernie any screen time or any attention to keep it all on Hillary. I felt that the DNC decided who it was going to be before he even had a chance.
What do you mean?? Don't you remember as soon as he seemed to have a lead every supposed "lIbErAl MeDiA" propaganda outlet ran with "Bernie loves Castro!" "Bernie said a nice thing about Cuba! Communism!! Communism!!! Beeee afraiddddd!!"
