but Bernie Sanders to this day is still pushing bs about the 2016 primary and about Hillary and Kamala.

Another thing is Mandani heavily campaigned on identity politics. Both his Muslim and Indian(south Asian) background. When they say he won the Asian vote I'm sure it's mostly south asians. He didn't really campaign on issues with these groups either but rather just things appealing on common cultural connections. These people usually don't vote in the primary. But they did this time and that's why he won without the usual traditional democratic groups.

I don't see anything wrong with the above but it goes against the bs from Sanders who keeps spewing bs.
