They did however influence the primaries (by generally siding with Hillary from the start). That can have an impact. Had Bernie been treated fairly by the DNC, then perhaps we would be having better days now. Anyway, it's just speculating. No one can really tell what would be happening now if Bernie had been able to win the primaries.
Where is it written that they cannot have a preference? You had a life long democrat and a life long independent and you are wondering why they chose the democrat? Seriously???
