Actually the word in the hardcore berner prog circles is that they locked him in a room and threatened the shit out of him on I think it was the Wednesday of the '16 DNC, and probably punched him in the face, he seemed for several hours after that to have the beginnings of a black eye.
They told him in no uncertain terms to stand down. His brother was so fucking pissed off about it he cried in his speech to nominate Bernie, it was very moving if you were a progressive watching it knowing it was over and this was the final fuck you to the DNC.
Progs believe that everything he's done since has been by force and intimidation.

The DNC doesn't like her. That's it. Doesn't make her good. They screwed Bernie, too. Not about to have that commie at the RNC convention.
They didn't screw Bernie. It's painfully obvious even to most leftists at this point that Bernie was in on the whole scam from the start.

Nah, Bernie's been the DNC's strawman candidate. He's purposefully been put up to make the more "mainstream" Dem candidates look tamer.
Yup just like AOC. There just to make pelosi look sane.
