to lose to Trump.

We warned them that Hillary could not defeat Trump. Many of the people that came out to support Sanders did so to fight the corruption of the Establishment system that sees the DNC clearly supporting Clinton and will not participate in the corrupt system in spite of the demands of the Establishment. It's the hubris of the Establishment that they think they can demand instead of "win over" the Sanders supporters.

Those that didn't heed the warnings that Hillary would lose to Trump need look no further than the mirror for the responsibility of such a lose.
