Bernie’s failures modulo DNC shennanigans, is really a failure of his movement rather than a personal failure of leadership. The movement could not gather as much mass as it needed. It thought its core grievances were more widely shared than they were.

A weakness of the Bernie mob vs Trump mob was grievances focused on future rather than the past. “You’ve destroyed our future” from a 20-year-old seems like premature eager embrace of victimhood. “You destroyed our life in the last 25 years” from a 55 year old seems more real.

Even if true, there’s a temptation among older people (like me, Warren guy) to wonder... how can you declare failure/foreclosed future before even trying. Perhaps unfair but that was my gut response.
