Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Blames Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton for Trump Presidency [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)149. While literally true, some number of his supporters
were so fired up for Bernie that the could not transition. And Bernie didn't do much to get them on board. He campaigned for Hillary but was not as strong as Hillary was when she backed Obama in 2008. I still remember her at that convention, saying she did not do all that work to see a Republican in the WH. Bernie did not come off that way at the convention. Not being a Democrat, maybe he did not feel as strongly about it.

So that equals "Bernie Sanders agrees that he really beat Hillary Clinton" in the current thread?

Maybe up equals down as well? Simple fact: Sanders didn't agree. The OP made that up.
