What you're looking at is the states that voted for Bernie Sanders (Green) and Hillary Clinton (Blue) in the primary
- If you want to understand what is wrong with their political process. Then think about what states voted for who in the general election - The same states that voted Republican in the election were the deciding factor in choosing a terrible candidate which their states did not even vote for in the general election

Looks like Clinton won Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina. 
Colored folks didn't vote for Bernie and then they didn't vote for Clinton.

What are you saying here? My point is that the states that voted Republican in the general and voted Clinton in the primary were instrumental in fucking this all up

I'm saying Bernie's campaign was fundamentally flawed from the beginning because he couldn't appeal to hispanics or blacks. They didn't know who the fuck this guy was, he's some fucking jew from some ivory tower in the northeast coming out of nowhere and then expecting them to vote for him when Hillary clinton has been courting them for years and years like the good little career politician she is.
The DNC could have jumped on the scale with their full weight for Bernie and Bernie still would have lost the primary, he lost it that badly. I agree with you though that he would have won the general election.

Yes that first part is true, it is simply the backstory behind what is fucked up about the political process... Though I believe if the DNC had left things alone, and the media didn't purposely blackout Bernie and promote Hillary the rest of the population would've gotten on board... as harsh as it sounds, the way the elections work in this country is that people who are in states that will not be able to at all influence positively the result of the general election should not have equal sway to the states that will be voting for said candidate. Dat college sucks.

The saving grace is that now Bernie is one of the only true leaders left in the party. And it is up to his supporters more than him to carry on this movement and take control of the democratic party but only if these people like you and me get involved and stay involved otherwise the movement will fade. This is the shining opportunity when the old guard are slinking back into the shadows to cast their asses aside. The democratic party can no longer be the party of wall street and silicon valley. Fuck that.
