Let's allow for a moment that this is true.
What does that say about a party that dismissed the "Bernie Bros'" request for modest reforms like a $15 minimum wage or a VP that didn't support the Hyde Amendment &, instead, courted conservative suburban voters by moving right?

Corporate Democrats sold out their base to get Republican voters, lost parts of their base as a consequence, and have spent the last *five years* kvetching -- pretending that the left left the party when it is they who abandoned the base.
As @MalaikaJabali 87 *thousand* Black voters *in Wisconsin ALONE* voted in 2012 and then declined to vote in 2016. The reasons most frequently cited?
“unhappy with choice of candidates or issues" 33%
“Not interested” 8.8%
“vote would not have mattered” 6.6%

It's much easier for @AshaRangappa_ to smear "Bernie Bros" than tp acknowledge the Democratic Party betrayed its base, including Black voters.
Democrats love to cynically exploit race & discard Black voters when convenient. Pundits like Asha effectively launder them doing so.
