I am at this point so freakin’ tired of those Sanders fans (a minority, admittedly) who are convinced that the only reason Sanders is losing is shenanigans. His campaign was always a super long shot. He’s losing because progressive values aren’t mainstream yet. The fact that he’s pushed them into the mainstream as much as he has
