are not reality or truth based, only partisan. Left wing version of trumpster mentality.

I might put too much blame on Sanders, not for his own actions, but for what happened when he sicced people vulnerable to conspiracism on the DNC as an evil villain. Or maybe not. But, after all, his willingness to feed them anti-DNC messages is a big part of what drew them, it didn't create them. Like him, they're responsible for their own behavior and for what they believe today. If not him, straight to Jill Stein, Johnson, and/or Trump, don't pass the primaries "go"?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
