He was also in 2020 primaries. Same deal IIRC

Besides running advertisements against him, what did "the dems" do to sabotage his campaign?

Coordinated for all the centrists except Biden to drop out at the same time, while Warren and Sanders split the vote of the progressive wing. When it looked like Sanders had a decent shot at actually getting the nomination, all the centrists except Biden dropped out simultaneously and endorsed him. Biden won the nomination due to a giant DNC-coordinated rat-fucking.

They also fucked with the caucuses

Barbara Boxer giving the middle finger to Bernie supporters while exiting the rigged 2016 Nevada convention:

The Boxer video was difficult to find, it seems to have been pretty thoroughly scrubbed from the internet.

But we remember, don’t we kids?

Unpopular opinion but that sounds like a skill issue when the progressives could've done the same thing. And I say this as a Bernie voter.

Hmmm im thinking it has more to do with him not capitulating to billionaire interests. That sounds a lot like Hillary saying "no one wants to work with him"

And I say this as a Bernie voter.

If everyone who "says this as a Bernie voter" had actually voted for Bernie, We'd be in the first year of his 2016 running mate's administration.

Bruh, you're really going to accuse me of lying about voting for an extremely popular left-wing candidate on a left-wing social media platform?

[–] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 15 hours ago

Were there enough progressives in the right positions of power to make that happen, though?

One advantage that centrist / establishment types have is that they are everywhere and people are used to them. And they sometimes actually coordinate when the status quo gets threatened.
