10. My point is that the OP made is sound like the DNC is solely responsible.

Sanders, indeed, said

"Let me be very clear. In my view, Democrats will not retain the White House, will not regain the Senate, will not gain the House and will not be successful in dozens of governor’s races unless we run a campaign which generates excitement and momentum and which produces a huge voter turnout. "

"With all due respect, and I do not mean to insult anyone here, that will not happen with politics as usual. The same old, same old will not be successful."


But, that includes republican establishment politics as well.
