How the Democrats Screwed Bernie

di Tad Devine (Autore)

Simon & Schuster, 2026

An explosive inside account of how the Democratic establishment used every weapon in its arsenal to subvert the will of the people and stop Bernie Sanders’s presidential bid in 2016—told by his chief strategist who witnessed it all firsthand. One question haunted the American left after the 2016 election: how could a grassroots movement that drew massive crowds and shattered fundraising records fail? The answer exposes fundamental flaws in American democracy itself. In How the Democrats Screwed Bernie, Sanders’s chief strategist in the 2016 Democratic primary unravels how the “Clinton Machine”—a network of operatives, Super PACs, and media allies—in consort with the Democratic National Committee deployed dark money and dirty tricks to stop a wildly popular outsider candidate. A candidate who may well have been the peoples’ choice and beaten Donald Trump. You’ll discover how deeply the deeply entrenched Democratic establishment orchestrated opposition research campaigns, the true story behind the voter file crisis that nearly derailed the campaign, how Clinton’s team pioneered bot campaigns later adopted by Trump’s team, and why primary rules are deliberately structured to favor insiders over often more compelling outsiders. This isn’t just another campaign memoir. Nor is it just a reflection on the doomed Sanders’s candidacy. It is a cautionary tale about American democracy that is becoming more urgent by the day. As voters grapple with growing distrust of political institutions, How the Democrats Screwed Bernie reveals how our democratic processes really work and how they can be manipulated by those with enough money and power to game the system. This is the story the entrenched Democratic establishment doesn’t want you to read.
