Sanders was and is a bad candidate, period that wouldn't have gotten anything done and is well known not to play well with others in government. The Republicans went way easy on him in the primaries because they knew they had a lot of dirt they could use, whether justified or not (rape essays, USSR Honeymoon, Venezuela comments, the pipeline to poor Mexican communities, etc) as well as the fact that he can't defend his positions well AT ALL when confronted with any sort of adversary. The DNC did not rig it against him, the 3 million votes and superdelegate counts still put Hillary ahead no matter how you would rearrange the rules (plus Bernie mainly won caucuses which are the least democratic way to elect someone).
Bernie can go back to his little NorthEastern bubble and leave everyone else alone to do the real work, as he did in the commune he was part of in his 20's.
