Honest question - why was he unelectable?

I don't think someone as far left as Sanders is electable in America as most moderates would see him as too far from the center and not vote for him.

The popular narrative in a lot of places is that Bernie could have beaten Trump. I don't necessarily agree with them, but it seems like a non-trivial amount of people think that it could have happened. Maybe if Trump's presidency causes a backlash we'll see Bernie on the 2020 ballot, but I'm not holding my breath.
