Biden is the establishment pick. Nothing in Iowa went his way, and the results of the Iowa caucus simply couldn't have been better for Bernie.
Coincidentally, the way this caucus played out was determined by the bernie bros unity commission who were convinced that the dnc rigged it against them last time...which they didn't.
I share your concern about an allegedly progressive party that doesn't seem to want to unite behind progressive messaging. That doesn't make these conspiracy theories about bernie getting the shaft true. A more mundane explanation for that is right there in our shared frustration. Progressives don't feel comfortable getting behind a progressive candidate. That's why he lost the last one, plain and simple. He'll probably lose this one for the same reason. Progressivism is seen as a liability in this country, even to progressives.
