There's multiple reasons why he was blackballed.
Bernie was cut off mainly because there is way too much connecting him to communism and communist sympathizers. And a lot of it is well documented.
Americans are, sadly but fortunately, more likely to stomach pedophilia, corruption and incestual behavior in a politician rather than someone who has communist sympathies. I still can't believe the only difference between both candidates this election was the letter associated with their brand of shared belief.
The Democrats might be idiots in regards to quashing party fracturing, but they sure as hell know when to blacklist someone.
Bernie also had a similar level of political slander/taint as Hillary despite not being as famous or prominent. Unlike Hillary, all of his taint was accrued extremely fast from his followers mainly being textbook young voters; situationally and conveniently uninformed, easily impassioned due the the immaturity of youth, and had a constant tendency to speak out on their candidate's behalf always putting him in really painful positions.
Unfortunately as we've seen with Trump in regards to his base, anything and everything can define a politician.
Now don't get me wrong, I only sort of believe he's a communist, but socialism is the form of government used as a transitional stage for communism. Mainly considering its all about developing a strong public dependence on an overreaching government with heavy taxation. Is he quite possibly a useful idiot? Perhaps. Or does he have a self-interested agenda like every other politician? Most likely.
Regardless, socialism is a word that has lost all meaning because the people promoting it control the institutions in charge of language definitions and ideological discourse and have managed to beat it out of shape like the word fascism has been.
eugh, you're a populist... semi /s
What choice did he have? His voters were very vocal about wanting to cast "Fuck you" votes and I'm sure the Democrats were threatening to metaphorically string him up a tree if he didn't cede and publicly support a candidate.
