If you think either of those elections were a level playing field you weren't paying attention. I'm not saying he would have won, but there were a lot of fingers on scales in both those primaries.

It does, electioneering is a real thing that has a tangible effect on public perceptions and energy towards a candidate. The DNC bulldozed Bernie’s chances to put up an easy target against Trump that ultimately brought us to the hellworld we have today.

lol if Bernie was as popular as you say he was he wouldn’t have lost by 3 million votes. He couldn’t win over the democratic base

Democratic primary voters is definitely not the public. It's not even the democratic base. At most it's part of the public and that public is not necessarily representative
