    I lost interest once Bernie wasn’t selected to run the party

    This is what EVERYBODY doesn’t understand. The DNC is NEVER going to select Bernie because he is NOT a Democrat. He is, and always has been, an Independant.

    The presidential nomination is the highest award a party can give to a member, and they are going to give it to a loyal member who has supported the party, raised money for them, praised their actions, etc. Bernie has done none of that. He may caucus with the Dems, but he doesn’t raise money for them, and he has often been very critical of Democrats.

    He’s NOT a Democrat, and there was never a time when the Democrats would give him the nomination, no matter how many votes he got in the primary. The last thing the Dems want is for a non-Dem to step up and fix the country, and prove how ineffective they’ve been in every Democratic administration.
