That Sanders has so much support is frightening.
People have been convinced that it was either never tried or that the correct people weren’t in charge or both.
They’ll prattle on and on, for instance, about Trotsky or Lenin as if they weren’t completely down with Terrors and Progroms.
Add for nightmarish proportions the fact that Clinton has just announced she will support Bernie if he wins the nomination.
I.e. "I would accept the VP slot." This with a guy who has a poor ticker.

Propaganda works.
Within the DNC, it’s alarming but not surprising. Probably too much of the support is from millenials looking to get forgiven student loans. They don’t show up to vote. So not frightening, really. Autoworkers now off the dole and back on the job are more motivated.
Considering just under half of US citizens pay zero taxes, not so surprising.
Coincidentally, this number roughly aligns with the amount of US democretins.
The voters who are under 35 have been given “Participation Trophies’ most of their lives.
Don’t actually DO ANYTHING-—or actually COMPETE—and don’t actually show ANY ABILITY to EVER do anything....But just LOOK at that shelf full of ‘Participation Trophies’.
Now, these same people are hearing FREE college-—FREE health care—Free something or another of every stripe.
They are clueless about who will pay for this massive transfer of wealth-—and they DON”T CARE.
All they want is for a complete continuation of their “Participation Trophies” to their graves.
Blame their parents-— who never looked beyond that Saturday when the ‘trophies’ were handed out.
None of them have been prepared for living an independent life.

The only thing that frightens me about Bernie’s supporters is that I may not personally have enough ammunition for all of them.
I am comforted by the fact that a good number of our fellow FReepers don’t have this concern.
(-:
A lot of young voters have massive college debt and see candidates like Sanders and Warren as their ticket to waive it.
I know a dude in his 40’s who wormed his way into city employment and and is salivating over some Fed program that’s supposed to waive his student loans.
