The simple facts belie your post on every level. His documented popularity is among his own constituents, his words are documented to have irritated masses of people who DO NOT LIKE what he did.
The "small embittered remnant" is the one that keeps insisting that things are true because they fondly believe them, while ignoring all evidence to the contrary, the Dem leadership understands that they need the people Bernie keeps offending with his attacks on the party's core principles and the people that make up the backbone.
Women and minorities are the largest voting block, they're also the people that Bernie's antics have been offending, angering and irritating. Without us, the Dems don't exist. We're the ones doing all the work, and Bernie and the small group who feel the need to attack Democrats when we object to the things he keeps saying that endanger our lives, our human rights and our families are going to have to wake up and figure out that we're not going to sit down and shut up, and we will not "get used to" being denigrating, abused, lied to and shoved out of the way by people who don't seem to understand what we are to this party they just discovered 5 minutes ago.
Without us, Dems don't exist. Get used to that.
