    Corbyn also got sabotaged by his own party. Which to be fair, is why workers parties need to purge reactionary elements. He played too nice with people who wanted his throats.

        Bernie was sabotaged but Corbyn got it even worse. The Labour Party used their funding to pay for smear campaigns. High-ranking officials expressed worry when his supporters were polling well against tories, then celebrated losing the election. Whenever he made accusations against conservatives, Labour's MPs came in their defense.

          Also Corbyn was the leader of the party both popularly and according to the lib rules which of course they no longer care about when it no longer suits them. Bernie was doing an entryism and besides failing also gazed too long into the abyss and was subsumed.
