Yawn, this narrative again. How about instead of blaming the voters, blame the DNC for running a terrible campaign? The "Bernie Bros" were far more loyal to the party than the disaffected Hillary voters were in 2008.

That year, a YouGov survey showed 24% of respondents who identified as Clinton primary supporters ended up voting for Republican nominee John McCain that November. In 2016, the highest estimates showed 12% of Sanders primary supporters voting for Trump.

It also wasn't the Bernie Bros who decided not to bother targeting the rust belt States.
Biden has lost ground with Latinos and young black voters during this campaign (compared to 2016). Is that somehow the fault of the Bernie Bros, too?
God forbid the Democrats ever look in the mirror and just do an ounce of self-reflection. Much easier to blame Russia and Bernie and just keep trucking along the same path.
