The people did vote for Bernie in the 2020 primaries, then the Democratic Party said they knew better than us and made Clinton the nominee anyways. And oopsy the two party system means you don't get to vote for someone who represents you, just for the person who is slightly less evil.
I wish range voting can be implemented somewhere so people see its power
That's not what happened. People voted... for Hillary. She won the popular vote, that's not the controversy. I mean it's the made up controversy that people buy into. What happened as far as them playing kingmaker was that they put party support behind a candidate before the votes had been made. They nudged people to vote for her instead of being unbiased. They did vote for her though. She would have won without the super delegates, but people like to complain about bad things even when they aren't what caused the bad outcome. I also think you mean 2016? Biden had the votes by a larger margin in 2020.
