I never dismissed the possibility that Bernie could have lost without a systemic disadvantage, but that would mean at least one of the following things is true: either voters do not vote for the policies they want, non voters and disadvantaged voters lean heavily left, or voters erroneously believe centrist Dems support policies they don't support. And I think it's very likely a mixture of all of those things. And the fact that the system fails to accurately represent what voters actually support is why it's an inherently conservative system. Time and time again there are issues with overwhelming majority support that we don't have the political will to accomplish. And this isn't an issue with the voters, it's an inherent issue with our government and how it is set up to prevent change that was actually intended to function this way. The founding fathers wanted a government that made change very difficult.
