The DNC hasn't "screwed" Bernie at all. They have always thrown their own candidates under the bus in Vermont and made sweetheart deals with him to get him elected. They let him run for president as a Democrat and gave him access to their infrastructure even though he's an independent. And he's repaid them by bashing them all the time and siccing his thugs on party officials. They've actually been too nice to him.
He lost fair and square, and the only reason this narrative persists that he got "screwed" is because the far left can never accept a loss with grace and class. They live in a bubble, surround themselves with people who are exactly like them, and then are shocked and appalled when they find out that people who disagree with them exist. They can't cope, so they turn to excuses and conspiracy theories. It comes from the same place as their British bretheren demanding a do-over right after Leave won the Brexit vote.

The same ability to compromise - which voters took for weakness - shone through in his willingness to compromise his integrity.

Although i agree that the city of Philadelphia issued it, it is still possible that it was politically motivated, and i think it's safe to assume that the city has been working with the DNC quite a bit leading up to this.

it's puzzling that he's decided to get cozy with them, despite previously being an independently registered politician.
It's not like he has a whole lot of work experience in doing something outside the political sphere.

All the better. Bernie sold out an anti-establishment movement to the establishment criminal that stole the elections from him. Whatever he says now is an absolute joke. Even if he is right, he will do nothing but hurt the cause he is speaking for and needs to write his book and STFU.

I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. Bernie endorsed a criminal. He sold out to Hillary and got his book deal. The Green Party was trying to get him to run on their spot on the ballot in November and willing to adopt a lot of his "beliefs"
Or at least that is what Jill Stein(the Green Party candidate) said in this interview on RT (start at 2:16). Bernie showed no interest in continuing his run at the White House. Instead of working with the Green Party, he endorsed Hillary. So yea, Bernie sold out his revolution to criminal Hillary and the establishment for a book deal instead of saying "fuck you" Hillary and the establishment, and ran on the Green party ticket.
It shouldn't have been over, via that route or challenging the states that Hillary stole. CA is a big one. But it's over. That is Bernie's sin. Not his supporters who now are forced to vote Hillary or Trump.

The BLM mic takeover showed plenty of warning signs that he was going to pussy out for Hillary Rotten. Just shows you how bad of a president he could have fucked us over. Now an even bigger corrupt cunt bought her way to drive this country into ruin.
