        Bernie’s loss was more about the complicated layers of anti-democratic gatekeeping around the Democratic primary and other types of election design flaws in the US than actual approval rating. If there was a ranked choice voting system with Trump, Hillary, Sanders in 2016, he easily would have won as he was the least mutually divisive candidate.
