Correct. I'm not asking for why Sanders' policies are better, or why Democratic Party policies are bad. I wouldn't disagree with most of what that argument would be (though among actual left candidates, Sanders is not my ideal.) Just why, among mainstream Democrats, there's something particularly wrong with Clinton.

Out of curiosity, what would be your ideal out of actual left candidates?

Good point on why the DNC didn't fully support Sanders. That wasn't something I ever really considered. Again, though, I'm very far to the left, so yes I admit to some bias.
I would say a guaranteed basic income, lots of focus not just on affordability but also on quality of education from pre-K up, socialized health care, 35 hr. work week + 3 weeks vacation/year and one personal day/month + the zeitgeist of the Democratic Party just now on social justice + an overhaul of the criminal justice system + stop supporting assholes around the world + stop stealing other countries' resources + the empathy combined with bad-assery of Robert Kennedy.
I haven't found an individual who fits the bill yet. Let me know if you know her!
