If Trump gets elected due to Bernie's shennanigans

you'll understand real authoritarianism.

Study some history. He's not the first candidate to be railroaded in his first primary fight. Sometimes even if the process is rigged you can't act like a spoiled child. You put the good of the party ahead of your own self-interest and realize that not doing so leads to helping a fascist like Trump winning. Sorry you (and he) don't understand that there's more to it than his personal feelings.
