She won due to superdelegates and DNC corruption as well as media capture. The fact that Bernie did as well as he did in the face of this is a testament to how bad of a candidate she was.

Why should the superdelegates have flipped their votes against the popular vote? This makes no sense.

The only way Bernie would have won is if he convinced superdelegates from states that came out for Clinton to go against the popular vote in their state and erroneously vote for him. He still would have lost with no superdelegates, or if their votes were awarded to their state's primary winner.

Fantasy land.

Superdelegates shouldn't have existed in the first place. It's antidemocratic.

You are the epitomy of what happened during the election - bullying and deciding on how the election should go for others.

All the media and political establishment took Hillary's side. If they treated them equally he would have won.

Sanders would still have lost if there were no superdelegates.

Superdelegates weren't the only thing against him, as said in this exact thread.
