Per this new book by Tad Devine:
"So why didn’t Sanders get the nomination? Because the Democratic Party establishment — meaning the Clinton campaign, in cahoots with the Obama White House, the Democratic Senate leadership, and the Democratic National Committee — teamed up to smash him down. They couldn’t stand the fact that anyone would dare oppose Hillary Clinton."
"But Devine’s book is important, not just to tell the truth about 2016, but to warn Democrats not to make the same mistakes today. It’s pretty clear that too many Democratic leaders like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) didn’t learn anything from 2016. They’re trying to squash today’s progressive candidates, just like the establishment squashed Bernie Sanders in 2016."
