I wouldn't call it conspiring. At least not in the classical sense. It's just blatant disdain. Comparisons to McGovern (and why that makes him unelectable), that line of questioning regarding Bernie and Warren's conversation on a woman being president, this silly nonsense. the whole thing with Hillary trying to blame Bernie for her loss even though he made 39 campaign stops for her in the final 2 months of her campaign.

A conspiracy generally requires doing something behind the scenes, which I don't think the DNC is really doing to Bernie. It's not illegal to criticize candidates, obviously, but there's a definite bias against Bernie in both the DNC and the media and I think Bernie supporters are just kind of sick of it.
