    But there’s been an effort to rewrite history to absolve the party leadership, many of whom are still in positions of power ten years later.

      Man, fuck them, but these are all things I said at the time as well. And I was pissed enough at the time to throw away my vote on a third party in the general election. Bernie, ultimately, was not cheated in 2016 so much as we, the Dem electorate, failed him. That the DNC leadership are a bunch of cowardly, spineless, visionless corporate bootlicks more interested in holding onto their own power in the party than moving America forward is a footnote in this particular story.
