Then again, we knew that when he was willing to dismiss reproductive rights as a distraction while endorsing a forced birther in Omaha simply because the guy endorsed HIM, when he called Planned Parenthood "establishment" for not kissing his cis straight white man ass. . .
He didn't lose because of a DNC/CBC conspiracy. He and his aides were alienated the 3 core Dem blocks: Black people, LGBTQ, and women (not mutually exclusive). Can't win the primary without them.
The people who promote that "conspiracy!" thing are loony as the J6ers, and equally incapable of coherently explaining how the DNC "rigged" millions of primary votes (while somehow incapable of rigging a few thousand in swing states for the GE).
As soon as I see anyone using that line, I block. As Barney Frank said to the LaRouchie at his town hall, "Trying to talk to you would be like having a conversation with a dining-room table."
They think the DNC is a central committee like the DSA, Soviets, or CCP have. The DNC is an event planning committee that gives leftover money to primary winners. It's like complaining about the prom committee because they didn't anoint the unpopular boy from another school as king.
I'm sure you've played the game of asking them to explain just what exactly the DNC does only to have it devolve into sputtering.
