I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

They did vote for him
So much so that the DNC threatened him into dropping out. The emails from the DNC got out and it caused the head of the DNC to resign in shame.
This is public information that you should probably have already known.

Certainly not in numbers that got him nominated. And of course the DNC boogyman that is fronted here had nothing to do with that turn out whatsoever. The superdelegates didn't even matter his numbers were so low and she beat him by a factor of two in Texas. So much for the canard of progressiveness in red states.

Hey look it's old info that came out before all the stuff I linked!
Cool find, but there's the entire rigging of the primary by the DNC (who don't legally have to show legitimate vote counts) that you seem to have missed.
Go read my links and catch up with the rest of us.
If you don't feel like engaging with reality and whining at me then I'm done here
I did read your links, they reflect the reality that Bernie didn't have enough votes, particularly in red states. Conspiracy theories and upset delegates simply cannot paper over that.
Ok bye
