Please provide evidence of these things instead of regurgitating anti-Hillary taking points (ZOMG THIRD WAY!!!!1!!1!), otherwise I can't take anything you say seriously. The fact is Hillary and the party gave an unprecedented level of input to the losing candidate to shape the party platform, and he repaid the favor by sulking angrily at the convention and doing little to nothing to bring voters he turned against the party back into the fold. And then he left the party.
Also please point out where I said Hillary and the party bear no responsibility for the outcome. Of course they do. But so does Bernie. It's too convenient for him to revert back to his preferred role as a gadfly and continue throwing rhetorical bombs at the party while failing to acknowledge how his behavior and choices helped to bring about this outcome. Or even to acknowledge his own failings as a candidate!
There's a way forward for the party but Bernie isn't it. He's done enough, and yet, very little at all.
