You did not.
Bernie hit +2 at best. And among the historic independent options, he’s been by far the best.
If you’re trying to get them into the DNC, that’s never going to happen. You’re never going to get an actual choice in the DNC pick. They don’t need to conspire. They can simply say now.
You need an independent that’s better than 50% popular. You’re not getting that with a +2.
It’s honestly probably a unicorn, maybe a pegasus.
We’re pretty screwed until we replace what’s here with something real and fair. But you’re not getting that through half measures or by not voting.

And comes the purity testing. We didn’t put forward a perfect candidate so throw him out. Same as it ever was.

What you just said makes no sense in putting together an independent candidate. How does an independent candidate get thrown out?

Because there’s no way to run independent in the USA with first past the poll. Though Bernie is independent, he caucuses with the Democrats and when he looked to be winning the primary they pulled the rug out from under him and you neo-liberals have been walking around like the proverbial pigeon on the chess board.
