Yes but the dnc charter says they have to be impartial in primaries...

Primaries and caucuses are PARTY elections that are regulated/administered by State Elections Commissions.
It's not the way it should be, but it's the way it is and has been for well over a century.

Bernie had no business running as a Democrat. He's not a Democrat. He's never been a Democrat.
Why should Bernie get special treatment.
I half wonder if anyone can stop her.

Well, maybe you have an answer to my question then; is there ANY evidence that the Primaries or the Caucuses were unfair, rigged, etc.? Was Bernie kept off any ballots? Was there election or voter fraud?
Because if not, even before the superdelegates, Clinton clearly won with 54%

He should have fought back.
He should have stood up for himself.
He sold out.
He allowed it to happen.
He took the payoff.
He failed to publicly let his supporters know what the DNC was doing. Why? Because it would have revealed the dishonest criminal scumbags that make up the Democrat machine.
The night Hillary made her speech accepting the Dem nomination, you could tell Bernie was p*ssed...big time. But he sat there in silence.
A few months later the Sanders' bought a nice new Lake house.

Yet the DNC allowed him to run as one.
didn't the republicans allow a failed reality tv star to run?

That maybe...however...I feel as the DNC robbed themselves of the White House. I am an independent with a strong conservative bend and liked Bernie and was prepared to vote for him instead of Mr Trump as were many of my friends.

The DNC also cost themselves the Presidency, because Sanders would have defeated Trump.

I watched the democrat primaries with a lot of interest...
Cheering for Bernie...
He got a lot of votes...
But Hillary got more...
So how was he “cheated” exactly?
Because (referencing your avatar) elections are supposed to give candidates an equal opportunity to win. Candidates are supposed to be given the same box to stand on. Instead, Hillary was standing on all the boxes.

Research Bernie. I mean, seriously, research Bernie.
Both Trump supporters and Bernie supporters voted for an Idea/Ideology - - - with a candidate that is not qualified.

That is untrue.
Clinton won the vote in the Primaries and Caucuses by 54%.

How was he not qualified? He has a lifetime of working in the Senate.
Also, I'm going to preempt your "She was the most qualified candidate ever.." She did have qualifications, but she's also a neo-liberal Wall Street shill and a war monger. I don't want someone "qualified" who represents all of the wrong NON-progressive values.
