Jon Stewart torched the DNC and Democratic leadership as "lost" after learning from a candidate with a massive lead that he's heard zilch from the party.
I personally know 2 conservatives that switched to democrat to vote for Bernie in the 2016 primary because they were so confident he would lose but they weren’t sure they could beat Hilary. They laughed at the idea of Bernie winning.
The polls weren’t really saying that on any regular basis. A few said she’d squeak by, some said she’d lose, but she never really had a 10 point lead like Bernie.
The rest of your statements and link are anecdotal nonsense hit pieces of the type that was very commonly posted in the corporate media back then to dissuade the easily fooled into not taking Sanders seriously.
Look at the link I sent. Pretty much all the polls showed him 5-12% ahead of Trump. None showed Hillary ahead by that much. The DNC made an own goal and it was obvious that it would play out that way.
Your sources are your own blog. Hopefully I don’t need to explain why that isn’t a credible source. Especially when they start off with this red flag: “First off, Jill Stein and the Green Party were not a spoiler in this election”
If the polls are inaccurate then it doesn’t matter what the polls say…
What about the polls that said Hilary was going to win? They were wrong so couldn’t your polls be wrong also?
Seems like you’re giving those polls merit based on who you want to win.
Republicans were praying that Bernie would win the primary in 2016 because they knew he would be easier to beat.

The exact same is true for Bernie. That’s the fact that I am pointing out while reminding you of your bias.
Your argument is ‘the polls are wrong when they say what I don’t want to hear but they are accurate when they say what I want to hear’

Come on, those are all links to other sources. Now you’re just being disengenuous.
Don’t try moving the goalpost. Especially to promote your blog…
The fact of the matter is if the polls are wrong for Hillary then they are wrong for Bernie.
Wrong doesn’t mean that averaging them out gives you an indicator of what the real election results would be.
It means that the polls are wrong and will skew one way or another depending on the group polled.
