    Not in 2020, the DNC changed the rules after 2016 so they don’t get a vote unless no one wins on the first ballot, and Biden won in the first ballot. Biden straight up just got more votes than Bernie in 2020

      Hillary straight-up got more votes than Bernie in 2016 as well. To my (and in retrospect, the entire nation’s) regret.

        I voted for Bernie twice, and whenever a Democrat is running against a Republican, I will always vote blue. I’ll continue to try to influence the Democratic party by voting in primaries. A ton of local elections are being won by increasingly progressive candidates, and they are going to graduate to higher offices over time
