How to Prevent a Repeat of 2016

sorry i need this to be long to explain why i think this way.   3 values i really care about are earth care, human care, and future care.  And although I suppose all the cadidates strive to achieve that each in their own way, Bernie is the 1st candidate ever to most closely match my views & who literally inspired me to even have enough hope to get involved & even be willing to donate money to (not that i was able to donate more then a few dollars to). My sister proved to me how Warren had been similar & if we had ranked voting, i might have vote second place for her but even if she hadnt done some things that deeply bothered me, i stilll would have picked Bernie 1) bc he has passed more bills then any of the other candidate but 2) also has most consistently fought for what i care about.  On top of that, i am deeply in awe how he 3) has managed to earn a world record of donations WITHOUT the help of a superpac and with just small donations of roughky $21 dollars at a time.  This shows me that people are more passionate about him then any other candidate in history.  But that passion also leaves me teriffied of having a repeat  of what happened in 2016 when people blamed corruption, lies and sabatoged voting as the reason why he didnt win. Peoole were so uoset that they literally LET Trump win.
And i deeply fear that happening again esp since i have already seen the 1st signs of surprise closures in SC in areas that the Bernie crowds are already massively uproaring in fury about and now in Texas, there are rumours of it happening again. I fear how passionate people will revolt if they feel helpless enough and i get the sense that most people voting for Bernie feel very helpless indeed and dont feel like they have much to lose since they already have so little.  I do have a lot to lose if but never before have i seen a candidate who has gotten peope ro be as a passionate as Bernies followers and that gives me hope. He is also the only one a know who wants to encoursge victory gardend and making sure the farming industry starts considering using more sustainable and even regenerative practices, the topic of food waste which I think is a big factor of why so many people go hungry bc we have the food resources but its not getting to those in need.  His new green deal offers me hope. Also the only way i will ever have a chance of having medical care ever is if Bernie wins. Without him, i deepy fear a repeat of 2016 will occur bc the people bc i really believe the reason why Trump won was bc of how much apathy was caused by how helpless people who had wanted Bernie before felt. And now even more people want Bernie and given far more of themswlves to try to help him win. He appeals to the masses who are struggling and have no other hope left.
