Somebody else in this discussion claimed Bernie polled better against Trump. If that's the issue aren't the Dems guilty of choosing the less qualified candidate?

So on the spectrum it's Bernie > Clinton > Stein. If the argument is electability what's the justification for skipping over #1 to go with #2? Why not just fall all the way back to #3 in that case?
Dems got caught up in 'Her Turn' and all that crap and elected Clinton purely on the basis of her gender. Another old white guy just wasn't in the books. She wasn't unpopular because of her gender, she is just not that likable. Clinton's best chance was to run against Trump, and she blew it. Her hubris led to a weak campaign.

Yes. And?

I couldn't tell you. I was for Bernie at any point he was in the race - in part for his electability.
