primary." You have shown me that 15 whole days before the convention--which yes, technically was during the primary--Sanders and the DNC had finally come to an agreement. That agreement was almost certainly structured with how Sanders threw his weight behind Clinton and moved to have all of his delegates tallied to her during the convention.
I was kind of talking about that whole stretch between April up until that point when the DNC was only making an effort to make Sanders the candidate of Bernie Bro's, driven by delusional self interest, when they could have just been more progressive already.

"I'm saying that had the DNC not been so smug and actually realized earlier that they should make some changes and invite the Sanders portion of the party to the table, I think Sanders would have taken that as a win."
