Yeah, I get why Bernie Bros would push that meme, but not why anyone here would.

Hillary Clinton:

• Won the national popular vote by a double-digit percentage (55.2% to 43.1%)
• Won every big state (CA, TX, FL, NY, IL, etc.) and all by large margins
• The biggest state Sanders won was Michigan (tenth-biggest state by population), and he only squeaked out a very narrow margin of victory there (0.23%), so it didn't matter too much because Democrats hand out their delegates proportionately in every state.
• Clinton won 34 contests vs. Sanders's 23
• Most of Sanders's victories were dinky little caucuses, like he won North Dakota with all of 252 votes

Clinton beat Sanders, no she clobbered him, and it wasn't even close. Ignore the delegates/super delegates for a minute and just look at the actual voting results... in what way, shape or form did Bernie Sanders deserve to be the winner?

I think only 8 of the states Bernie won voted Democrat in the general election.

Bernie was never supposed to come close to challenging Hillary in 2016. Bernie was the crazy uncle that Hillary was supposed to beat by a landslide on the way to her coronation. When some democrats actually chose Bernie over Hillary it pissed her off and made her look bad.
