I really want to hear the answer to the question "what should he have done different"
I hope to god "supporting Bernie" or some variant of that nonsense is that Ellison is alluding too.

But on a another semi related note, I had a discussion with this "Bernie delegate" where he said all political contributions by the big corps to political parties are bribes in the USA
Every time I said that's now how bribes are, he kept saying that I was wrong
oh well

I have resigned myself to the fact some people are hopeless. That the beef is not over progressive policy (which many Sanders supporters don't understand), it is being upset they are not getting their way.
Being a progressive for a few people just means agreeing with Bernie, no matter how stupid it makes you look.
Let these people fap to Young Turks episodes in peace and be blessed.

Ellison and the Bernie Bros/Stans are clowns. These Young Turks type folks are not helping the situation at all. They are the types that whine and claim both parties are the same, protest vote for Jill Stein and then organize huge protests and marches after they help elect Da Don. Trump Stans and these folks are cut from the same cloth.

Problem with these dudes is that they want to change the game from the sidelines. Do players pay attention to spectators? No! They focus on the game while the fans are screaming suggestions.
Be a one-and-done. Take that corporate money, get elected, and change the system so that corporate money is no longer politically effective. Then, fall back in the anonymity of an average life.
How many of them would do it?

Tbf,that's not better than saying Trump and Hillary are the same before the election. One side is still very clearly worse and detrimental to everyone else as a whole

-Bernie Bros are not the some Trump supporters, I'll take petulance over bigotry anyday.
But there are parallels between the two groups. And a lot of that has to do with their being parallels between Bernie's rhetoric and Trump's.
-Young Turks, not matter how much I agree with much of what they say is still left wing Breitbart.
Nothing is measured, thoughtfully analyzed, they give no unique insights, they spew "progressive" talking points back to their audience.

I don't think any of them can even get themselves into a position to garner such support

One side has better motives but when that side focuses on purity tests and protest votes that get us Da Don, one can see the parallels.

Yep,
Bernie Bros have more in common with Trumpettes than they realize.
-Most of their political arguments involve purity test
-They need to name an enemy
-They don't want to admit their preferred politician's ideologically is pretty much in line with the major political party they are members of
-Claim to be anti-establishment yet support people that have been part of the political establishment for decades
-Wikileaks is Gospel
-Their policy positions are dictated by either Bernie or Trump
-They demand loyalty to said politician
They are not on the same level of course. Not even close.
But then again these same individuals want people to believe that Hillary was actually a Republican running as a Dem. If they indulged in such a stupid talking point, then I have no issue with turning the mirror on them.
-If any of you guys want to listen to real left wing delusional drivel, check out Humanist Report, Secular Talk and Aggressive Progressive. The dude that runs that Youtube channels is almost a perfect caricatures of what the worst kind of Bernie Bros are.
